Question

Reflect the arrow over the line y = -x Pic of explanation below

Answer 1

The first step is to locate the coordinates of the vertices of the arrow. From the graph,

A = (2, 1)

B = (2, 3)

C = (1, 3)

D = (3, 5)

E = (5, 3)

F = (4, 3)

G = (4, 1)

If (a, b) is reflected on the line y = - x, the coordinates of the image is (- b, - a)

By applying this rule, the new coordinates after reflecting the arrow over the line y = - x are

A'(- 1, - 2)

B'(- 3, - 2)

C'(- 3, - 1)

D'(- 5, - 3)

E'(- 3, - 5)

F'(- 3, - 4)

G(- 1, - 4)
