Answer: Option (C): N′(1, 2), M′(−2, 1), O′(−1, 3).
Explanation:
To reflect the preimage over x = -2, we can use the formula for reflecting a point (x, y) over a vertical line x = a:
(x', y) = (2a - x, y)
In this case, the vertical line is x = -2, so a = -2.
So we can find the image vertices as follows:
N' = (2(-2) - (-5), 2) = (4 + 5, 2) = (9, 2)
M' = (2(-2) - (-2), 1) = ( -4 + 2, 1) = (-2, 1)
O' = (2(-2) - (-3), 3) = (-4 + 3, 3) = (-1, 3)
Therefore, the image vertices of N'M'O' after reflecting the preimage over x = -2 are N'(9, 2), M'(-2, 1), O'(-1, 3). So the answer is option (c): N′(1, 2), M′(−2, 1), O′(−1, 3).
