triangle ABC is reflected across the x-axis. if the coordinates of the original shape are A (-4, -1), B (-5, -2), AND C (-10, -1), what are the coordinates of A' B' and C'

1 answer

When a point is reflected across the x-axis, the x-coordinate remains the same while the y-coordinate changes sign.

Given the original coordinates of triangle ABC:

  • A (-4, -1)
  • B (-5, -2)
  • C (-10, -1)

We can find the coordinates of the reflected points A', B', and C' as follows:

  1. A':

    • A (-4, -1) → A' (-4, 1)
  2. B':

    • B (-5, -2) → B' (-5, 2)
  3. C':

    • C (-10, -1) → C' (-10, 1)

Thus, the coordinates of the reflected points are:

  • A' (-4, 1)
  • B' (-5, 2)
  • C' (-10, 1)
