Question

The point C (x,y) is reflected over the x-axis. Write a translation rule to describe the original point and its reflection.

(x,y) ---> (x,2y)
(x,y) ---> (-x,y)
(x,y) ---> (-x,-y)
(x,y) ---> (x,-y)

Answer 1

1. The point c(x,y) is reflected over the x-axis. Use arrow notations to describe the original point and its reflection.

a. (x,y) --> (x,2y)

b. (x,y) --> (-x,y)

c. (x,y) --> (-x,-y)

d. (x,y) --> (x,-y) **


2. What is the correct description for the translation of A to A?

A(10,3) --> A'(1,6)

a. right 9; up 3

b. left 9; down 3 **

c. right 9; down 3

d. left 9; up 3


3. The point C(3, –1) is translated to the left 4 units and up 1 unit.

a. Write a rule to describe the translation.
b. What are the coordinates of the image point?

a. (x, y) --> (x + 4, y +1); (7, –2)

b. (x, y) --> (x – 4, y – 1); (–1, 0)

c. (x, y) --> (x + 4, y – 1); (7, 0)

d. (x, y) --> (x – 4, y + 1); (–1, 0) **


4. The vertices of ΔABC are A(2, –5), B(–3, 5), and C(3, –3). The triangle is reflected over the x-axis. Use arrow notation to describe the original triangle and its reflection.

a. A(2, –5), B(–3, 5), C(3, –3) --> (2, –5), (–3, 5), (3, –3)

b. A(2, –5), B(–3, 5), C(3, –3) --> (–2, 5), (3, –5), (–3, 3)

c. A(2, –5), B(–3, 5), C(3, –3) --> (–2, –5), (3, 5), (–3, –3) **

d. A(2, –5), B(–3, 5), C(3, –3) --> (2, 5), (–3, –5), (3, 3)


c) Write the coordinates of the vertices of the new image after translation

1. Yes
2. It's D, since y-coordinate is increased by 3.
3. Yes
4. If a point is reflected over the x-axis, the y-coordinate of the point changes its sign to opposite. So the points become A'(2,5), B'(-3,-5) and C'(3,3).
