Question

Jack discovers that the orientation of a triangle is counterclockwise. He then reflects the triangle over the y -axis. What is the orientation of the reflected figure?(1 point) Responses The reflected figure has a counterclockwise orientation. The reflected figure has a counterclockwise orientation. The reflected figure has a clockwise orientation. The reflected figure has a clockwise orientation. The orientation could be clockwise or counterclockwise depending on how you do the reflection. The orientation could be clockwise or counterclockwise depending on how you do the reflection. There is not enough information to tell.

Answer 1

When a triangle is reflected over the y-axis, the orientation of the vertices changes.

If the original triangle has a counterclockwise orientation, reflecting it over the y-axis will reverse the order of the vertices, resulting in a clockwise orientation.

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