Answer: Option (D): Reflection across y = -4
Explanation:
To determine the line of reflection, we can find the midpoints of corresponding sides of the polygons and then find the line passing through the two midpoints.
The midpoints of corresponding sides of VWXYZ and V'W'X'Y'Z' are as follows:
VW and V'W': Midpoint is ((3+3)/2, (2-10)/2) = (3, -4)
WX and W'X': Midpoint is ((6+6)/2, (-7-1)/2) = (6, -4)
XY and X'Y': Midpoint is ((9+9)/2, (0-8)/2) = (9, -4)
YZ and Y'Z': Midpoint is ((9+6)/2, (2-1)/2) = (7.5, 0.5)
VZ and V'Z': Midpoint is ((3+9)/2, (2-10)/2) = (6, -4)
So the midpoints of the corresponding sides of the two polygons are collinear, and the line passing through these midpoints is the line of reflection.
The line passing through (3,-4) and (9,-4) is the horizontal line y = -4. Therefore, the line of reflection is the reflection across the horizontal line y = -4.
So the answer is option (d): Reflection across y = −4.
Hope this helps :)
