To determine the coordinates of point R' after triangle PQR is reflected over a vertical line of reflection, we need to know the original coordinates of point R and the equation of the vertical line of reflection.
-
Identify the vertical line of reflection: Let's assume the line of reflection is given by the equation \( x = a \).
-
Find the original coordinates of point R: Let's say the coordinates of point R are \( (x_R, y_R) \).
-
Determine the reflected coordinates: When reflecting over a vertical line \( x = a \), the x-coordinate of the point R will change, while the y-coordinate will remain the same.
The new x-coordinate \( x_{R'} \) can be found using the formula: \[ x_{R'} = 2a - x_R \] The y-coordinate remains the same: \[ y_{R'} = y_R \]
-
Result: Thus, the coordinates of point R' after reflection would be: \[ R' = (2a - x_R, y_R) \]
If you provide the original coordinates of R and the line of reflection, I can give you the exact coordinates of R'.
