Question

PLEASE HELP -Given the graph of rectangle QUAD and its reflection.

Use the coordinates of the images' vertices, Q and Q' to algebraically find the line of reflection. In your final answer, include all of your work.

Answer 1

Q = (-5, 2)

Q' = (6, 2)

(-5 + 6/2 , 2 + 2/2) = (1/2, 2)

Vertical line through the mid point would be x = 1/2

Answer 2

Q is located at (-5,2)
Q" is located at (6,2)
they bot h have the same Y value (2) so we know it was only a reflection across the X axis
we need to find out where on the X axis it was reflected.
the distance between -5 and 6 = 11 units
11/2 = 5.5
the reflection line was 5.5 units to the right of the original Q
so the reflection line would be X = 0.5
