Question

Reflect triangle ABC with A(3, -1), B(1, -5), and C(-2, -2) in the x-axis. What are the coordinates of B'

Answer 1

Coordinate of B' = (1, 5)

Explanation:

If we reflect a point using X axis only Y coordinate gets changed, it changes its sign and X coordinate remains the same.

Here we need to reflect triangle ABC with A(3, -1), B(1, -5), and C(-2, -2) in the x-axis.

We need to find coordinate of B'.

So only Y coordinate changes sign, X remains the same.

Coordinate of B = (1, -5)

Coordinate of B' = (1, -5 x -1) = (1, 5)

Coordinate of B' = (1, 5)
