Graph a triangle (STU) and reflect it over the y-axis to create triangle S'T'U'. Describe the transformation using words. Draw a line segment from point S to the reflecting line, and then draw a line segment from point S' to the reflecting line. What do you notice about the two line segments you drew? Do you think you would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting T with the reflecting line and then T' with the reflecting line? How do you know?

klsamuel:

can anyone help?

jhonyy9:

try make this drawn

klsamuel:

what

jhonyy9:

with this triangle STU

klsamuel:

theres no pictures

JeanLuc:

so part 1: the y values stay the same, but the x values are opposite signs. part 2 & 3: the line will be of equal lengths and will be straight. part 4: you'd see the same characteristic because the x coordinate becomes a negative making them at equal distances from the y-axis.

jhonyy9:

so how will be this triangle STU reflected on the other side of OY axe ?

JeanLuc:

Does this help?

klsamuel:

yes thank you
