Question

Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration shows a coordinate plane. The x-axis and the y-axis range from negative 6 to 6 in one unit increments. Eight points are plotted on the plane. Two quadrilaterals are graphed on the plane. Four points are plotted in the first quadrant. Point A is plotted at the coordinates left parenthesis 3 comma 6 right parenthesis, Point B is plotted at left parenthesis 3 comma 2 right parenthesis, point C is plotted at left parenthesis 6 comma 2 right parenthesis, and point D is plotted at left parenthesis 5 comma 6 right parenthesis. Points A and B, points B and C, points C and D, and points D and A are connected by dotted line segments to form quadrilateral A B C D. Four unlabeled points are plotted in the second quadrant at the coordinates left parenthesis negative 2 comma 6 right parenthesis, left parenthesis negative 2 comma 2 right parenthesis, left parenthesis negative 5 comma 2 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis negative 4 comma 6 right parenthesis. The four points are connected by line segments to form a quadrilateral.

Your friend produced a reflection over the y
-axis that looks like this figure. You notice a problem with the reflection. How would you suggest correcting the reflection?

Answer 1

Shift the reflected figure 1 unit to the left.

Explanation: The correct reflection of A(3,6), B(3,2), C(6,2), D(5,6) across the y-axis is A'(-3,6), B'(-3,2), C'(-6,2), D'(-5,6). The plotted points are at (-2,6), (-2,2), (-5,2), (-4,6), which are all 1 unit to the right of the correct positions, so move the figure left 1 unit.
