Question

Line segment MN is graphed in the first and second quadrants of a coordinate plane. The segment is translated 2 units up, then reflected across the y -axis. Which characteristic of the image is always the same as the original line segment?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the line segment is only being translated and reflected it would still maintain its length. This is pretty much the only characteristic that would remain the same as te original line segment. It would not maintain the same x-axis positions for both endpoints of the line segment. This is because when it is translated 2 units up it is only moving on the y-axis and not the x-axis. But when it is reflected over the y-axis the endpoints flip and become the opposite values.
