To reflect triangle ABC with vertices A(2, -1), B(6, -3), and C(1, -3) across the x-axis and then the y-axis, we follow these steps:
-
Reflect across the x-axis: To reflect a point (x, y) across the x-axis, the new coordinates become (x, -y).
- A(2, -1) becomes A'(2, 1)
- B(6, -3) becomes B'(6, 3)
- C(1, -3) becomes C'(1, 3)
-
Reflect across the y-axis: To reflect a point (x, y) across the y-axis, the new coordinates become (-x, y).
- A'(2, 1) becomes A''(-2, 1)
- B'(6, 3) becomes B''(-6, 3)
- C'(1, 3) becomes C''(-1, 3)
Thus, the final coordinates of the reflected vertices A'', B'', and C'' are:
- A''(-2, 1)
- B''(-6, 3)
- C''(-1, 3)
Therefore, the vertices of triangle A′B′C′ are: A′(−2,1), B′(−6,3), and C′(−1,3).
The correct response is: "The vertices of triangle A′B′C′ are A′(−2,1), B′(−6,3), and C′(−1,3)."
