Question

The vertices of triangle ABC are A(2, -5), B(-3, 5), and C(3, -3). The triangle is reflected over the x-axis. Use arrow notation to describe the original triangle and its reflection.

1. A(2, -5), B(-3, 5), and C(3, -3) → (2, -5), (-3, 5), (3, -3)
2. A(2, -5), B(-3, 5), and C(3, -3) → (-2, 5), (3, -5), (-3, 3)
3. A(2, -5), B(-3, 5), and C(3, -3) → (-2, -5), (3, 5), (-3, -3)
4. A(2, -5), B(-3, 5), and C(3, -3) → (2, 5), (-3, -5), (3, 3)

Answer 1

Okay, here goes. Notice that since the line of reflection was the x-axis, the x-coordinate of each vertex stays the same and the y-coordinate of each vertex is the opposite of the original vertex, so in that case the answer is 4 or D.
