<u>Given</u>:
Given that the triangle ABC has vertices A(-2,3), B(0,3) and C(-1,-1).
We need to determine the coordinates of the image after a reflection over the x - axis.
Let A'B'C' denote the coordinates of the triangle after a reflection over the x - axis.
<u>Coordinates of the point A':</u>
The general rule to reflect the coordinate across the x - axis is given by
Substituting the point A(-2,3), we get;
Thus, the coordinates of the point A' is (-2,-3)
<u>Coordinates of the point B':</u>
The general rule to reflect the coordinate across the x - axis is given by
Substituting the point B(0,3), we get;
Thus, the coordinates of the point B' is (0,-3)
<u>Coordinates of the point C':</u>
The general rule to reflect the coordinate across the x - axis is given by
Substituting the point C(-1,-1), we get;
Thus, the coordinates of the point C' is (-1,1)
Hence, the coordinates of the image after a reflection over the x - axis is A'(-2,-3), B(0,-3) and C(-1,1)
Answer:
8.6
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the distance between two points we use the formula posted below
All we need to do is figure out what the points are on the graph and plug them into the formula... we end up with
the square root of (5-(-2)^2+(2-(-3)^2 and get the answer of 8.602325267
then we round to the nearest tenth and get 8.6
