Question

Triangle has vertices at (1,2),(4,6), and (4,2)in the coordinate plane. The triangle will be reflected over the x-axis and then rotated 180°about the origin to form . What are the vertices of ?

Answer 1

Answer: (-1, 2), (-4, 6), (-4, 2)

Explanation:

NOTES:

reflect over x-axis changes the sign of the y-value: (x, y) → (x, -y)

rotate 180° about the origin changes the signs of both the x- and y-values: (x, y) → (-x, -y)

**********************************************************************************

reflected over x-axis then rotated 180°

A: (1, 2) (1, -2) (-1, 2)

B: (4, 6) (4, -6) (-4, 6)

C: (4, 2) (4, -2) (-4, 2)
