Question

Bobbie listened to her teacher’s directions and navigated from the point (−1, 0) to (5, −3). She knows that she has the correct answer, but she forgot part of the teacher’s directions. Her teacher’s directions included the following:
"Move 7 units down, reflect about the ? -axis, move up 4 units, and then move right 4 units."

Help Bobbie determine the missing axis in the directions, and explain your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

The missing axis is y-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information.

Bobbie listened to her teacher’s directions and navigated from the point (−1, 0) to (5, −3).

Directions were as following:

Move 7 units down, reflect about the axis, move up 4 units, and then move right 4 units."

We have to find the missing axis.

Bobbie have to reflect about the y-axis in order to reach the point(5,-3).

The figure below will help us understand the path taken by Bobbie.
