-axis. What is the orientation of the reflected figure?(1 point)
Responses

The reflected figure has a clockwise orientation.

There is not enough information to tell.

The reflected figure has a counterclockwise orientation.

The orientation could be clockwise or counterclockwise depending on how you do the reflection.

Answer 1

When a triangle is reflected over the y-axis, the orientation of the triangle changes. Specifically, if the original triangle has a counterclockwise orientation, reflecting it over the y-axis will result in a clockwise orientation.

So, the correct response is: The reflected figure has a clockwise orientation.
