To reflect the figure over the line y = -2, we need to find the same distance between the line and the figure, but in the opposite direction.
To reflect the figure over the line y = -2, we need to find the same distance between the line and the figure, but in the opposite direction.
1) Draw the line y = -2 on the graph.
2) For each point on the figure, find the distance between the point and the line y = -2.
3) Draw a new point at the same distance from the line y = -2, but in the opposite direction.
The following steps show how to reflect the triangle over the line y = -2:
1) Draw the line y = -2 on the graph.
2) For point A, the distance between the point and the line y = -2 is 2 units. Draw a new point A' at (2, -2).
3) For point B, the distance between the point and the line y = -2 is 4 units. Draw a new point B' at (4, -2).
4) For point C, the distance between the point and the line y = -2 is 3 units. Draw a new point C' at (3, -2).
5) Connect the points A', B', and C' to form the reflected triangle.
The reflected triangle is congruent to the original triangle, meaning that it has the same size and shape. However, the reflected triangle is flipped over the line y = -2.
