Question

On a coordinate plane, 5 trapezoids are shown. Trapezoid L M N P is in quadrant 2 and has points (negative 2, 3), (negative 2, 6), (negative 1, 6), and (negative 1, 4). Trapezoid B is reflected in quadrant 2. Trapezoid C is reflected across the y-axis. Trapezoid D is reflected into quadrant 4. Trapezoid A is reflected across the x-axis.
Which figure represents the image of trapezoid LMNP after a reflection across the x-axis?

figure A
figure B

Answer 1

Figure A.

Reason: Reflect across the x-axis: (x,y) -> (x,−y). LMNP's vertices (-2,3), (-2,6), (-1,6), (-1,4) become (-2,-3), (-2,-6), (-1,-6), (-1,-4), which lie in quadrant III — the position shown by figure A.
