Question

Describe does Glide Reflection from the preimage triangle and black to the image triangle in red

Answer 1

Answer:

d

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets look at V which is at (2,-4).

We will also look at it's image V' which is at (-2,-1).

Let's go through the choices:

a. translation left 4 units and down 1 unit reflection x axis

Translating V left 4 and down 1 would give us (2-4,-4-1)

(-2,-5)

Reflecting that across the x-axis would give us

(-2,5).

So this is not (-2,-1) so let's move on...

b. translation left 2 units and up 2 units reflection line x=1

Translating V left 2 and up 2 gives us

(2-2,-4+2)

(0,-2)

Now reflecting this over x=1 gives us

(2,-2). ( Imagine this x=1 which is verical going right smack between points (0,-2) and (2,-2).)

We still did not reach our goal image.

c. translation left 2 units up and up 3 units reflection y axis

Starting at V(2,-4) and moving left 2 & up 3 gives (2-2,-4+3)=(0,-1).

Now reflecting this over the vertical axis, the y-axis, gives us (0,-1).

So we did not reach our (-2,-1) point yet.

d. translation left 2 units and 3 units reflection line x=-1.

​Starting at (2,-4) then moving left 2 and up 3 gives us (2-2,-4+3)=(0,-1).

Now we are reflecting over x=-1 which means we want to choose a point on the side making x=-1 the middle. Thuis point on the other side of (0,-1) of x=-1 would be (-2,-1) which is the goal.
