Question

Describe the transformation.

A) translation 6 units down
B) translation 2 units down
C) reflection across the x-axis
D) reflection across the y-axis

Answer 1

Hi there! The answer is C.

We can see a reflection across the x-axis. The x-axis in this figure is an axis of symmetry. When we would measure the distance from a certain point in both of the triangles (the same point in the two triangles), this distance would be the same. Therefore this figure is reflected across the x-axis.
