Graph the image of triangle PQR after a reflection across the line y = 2
1 answer:
Answer: Refer to the diagram below
- P ' is at (-7, 9)
- Q ' is at (1, 9)
- R ' is at (-6, 4)
================================================
Explanation:
The diagram shows how point R moves to R'. We move up 2 units going from R(-6,0) to (-6,2). This lands us on the line of reflection. Then we move another 2 units up to land on (-6,4) which is the location of point R'.
The other points P and Q follow the same idea. Though the distances will be different from R. For P and Q, we'll move 7 units up to arrive at the line of reflection, then another 7 units to arrive at the proper locations of P' and Q', which are (-7,9) and (1,9) respectively.

If this is an equilateral triangle, we need half of it to find the height which is a leg of a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 15. That means that the base of this half triangle is 7.5. Use Pythagorean's Theorem to fine the height.
