Question

An illustration of a coordinate plane with four quadrants shows the x-axis extending from negative 9 to 9 in increments of 1 and the y-axis extending from negative 11 to 11 in increments of 1. A triangle A B C is plotted on the graph. The triangle A B C has its vertices marked with closed points at A left parenthesis 2 comma negative 1 right parenthesis, B left parenthesis 6 comma negative 3 right parenthesis, and C left parenthesis 1 comma negative 3 right parenthesis.

Reflect triangle ABC
with respect to the x
-axis and the y
-axis. What are the vertices of triangle A′B′C′
?

Answer 1

To reflect triangle ABC over the x-axis and then the y-axis, we can follow these steps for each vertex of the triangle.

The coordinates of the vertices of triangle ABC are:

• A(2, -1)
• B(6, -3)
• C(1, -3)

1. Reflect over the x-axis: To reflect a point (x, y) over the x-axis, we change the sign of the y-coordinate.

   • A'(2, 1) (from A(2, -1))
   • B'(6, 3) (from B(6, -3))
   • C'(1, 3) (from C(1, -3))

2. Reflect over the y-axis: To reflect a point (x, y) over the y-axis, we change the sign of the x-coordinate.

   • A''(-2, 1) (from A'(2, 1))
   • B''(-6, 3) (from B'(6, 3))
   • C''(-1, 3) (from C'(1, 3))

Thus, the vertices of triangle A''B''C'' (or triangle A'B'C') after both reflections are:

• A''(-2, 1)
• B''(-6, 3)
• C''(-1, 3)

So, the correct response is: The vertices of triangle A′B′C′ are A′(−2,1), B′(−6,3), and C′(−1,3).
