To explain the new transformation over the y-axis, we need to understand what a transformation entails. A transformation is a change in the position, size, or shape of a figure. When we talk about a transformation over the y-axis, we are referring to a reflection across the y-axis.
**Transformation Over the y-axis:**
- A reflection over the y-axis means that for every point (x, y) in the original figure, the new point after the transformation will be (-x, y). Essentially, the shape is flipped horizontally over the y-axis.
- This change maintains the same distance from the y-axis, meaning the overall dimensions and proportions of the figure remain unchanged. However, the orientation of the figure is reversed.
**Congruence of Houses:**
To determine if this house is congruent to your neighbor’s house, we need to consider the properties of congruence in geometry. Two figures are congruent if they have the same shape and size, which means corresponding sides are equal in length and corresponding angles are equal in measure.
In the context of the houses:
- If your house has been transformed (reflected over the y-axis) and is now compared to your neighbor's house and you find that all corresponding sides and angles are equal despite the reflection, then yes, your house is congruent to your neighbor's house.
- However, if the dimensions, angles, or the overall shape differ after the transformation, then the two houses are not congruent.
In conclusion, if both houses maintain equal sizes and shapes post-transformation, then they are congruent, regardless of their orientation.
