Question

When reflecting a right triangle over a line that is not an axis, how can you make sure you have found the correct coordinates for the new image?(1 point)
Responses

Every x
-coordinate will change to its opposite.
Every x -coordinate will change to its opposite.

Every point on the new image will be the same distance from the line of reflection as the original triangle.
Every point on the new image will be the same distance from the line of reflection as the original triangle.

Both the x
- and y
-coordinates will change to their opposites.
Both the x - and y -coordinates will change to their opposites.

Every y
-coordinate will change to its opposite.

Answer 1

To ensure that you have found the correct coordinates for the new image of a right triangle reflected over a line that is not an axis, the most accurate response is:

**Every point on the new image will be the same distance from the line of reflection as the original triangle.**

This means that each point of the triangle after reflection will maintain the same distance from the line of reflection as the corresponding point of the original triangle. This principle is fundamental to the concept of reflection in geometry.
