Answer:
<em>Correct answer: Choice a.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Reflections In The Coordinate Plane
</u>
Reflect over the x-axis:
When we reflect a point across the x-axis, the x-coordinate remains the same, but the y-coordinate is mapped to its opposite (its sign is changed).
The reflection of the point (x,y) across the x-axis is the point (x,-y).
Reflect over the y-axis:
When reflecting a point across the y-axis, the y-coordinate remains the same, but the x-coordinate is mapped to its opposite (its sign is changed).
The reflection of the point (x,y) across the y-axis is the point (-x,y).
Note that the original triangle drawn by Jack and the image triangle have the same y-coordinate, but the inverse of the x-coordinate. This matches the definition of a reflection over the y-axis.
Correct answer: Choice a.
