What information besides the coordinates of the object, is needed to draw a reflected figure in the coordinate plane?

a. the equation of the axis of reflection
b. the equation of the y-axis
c. the equation of the perpendicular bisector
d. the equation of the x-axis

1 answer

To draw a reflected figure in the coordinate plane, the key piece of information needed besides the coordinates of the object is:

a. the equation of the axis of reflection

This is because the axis of reflection determines how the original object will be mirrored to create the reflected figure. Without knowing the position and orientation of the axis of reflection, you cannot accurately produce the reflection of the object.
