Question

Triangle HAM is reflected over the y-axis using the rule (x, y) → (−x, y) to create triangle H′A′M′. If a line segment is drawn from point A to point A′, which statement would best describe the line segment drawn in relation to the y-axis?

They create concentric circles.
They are parallel to each other.
The y-axis is a bisector of the segment drawn.
The segment drawn and the y-axis are congruent to each other.

Answer 1

We can use the following example of triangle HAM and H'A'M' reflected over the y-axis to answer the questions.


As we can see that the line segments HH', AA' and MM' are all parallel to each other & since their x-coordinates are the complement of each other, they are also bisected by the y-axis.

Hence, we can state options b) and c) are correct and best describe the line segment.

Answer 2

So its b or c

Answer 3

yes it can be both if not just guess either B or C

Answer 4

Ok thanks :)

Answer 5

no problem
