Question

Use the graph to answer the question.

Graph of polygon ABCDE with vertices at negative 3 comma 5, negative 3 comma 8, 1 comma 8, 1 comma 5, negative 1 comma 3. A second polygon A prime B prime C prime D prime E prime with vertices at negative 7 comma 5, negative 7 comma 8, negative 11 comma 8, negative 11 comma 5, negative 9 comma 3.

Determine the line of reflection.

Reflection across the x-axis
Reflection across the y-axis
Reflection across x = −5
Reflection across y = 3

Answer 1

C or a reflection across x= -5

Explanation:

If you look at the x values of the first polygon you can see that the x values are changing which eliminates both B and D. When you graph it you look at the -3 changing to -8. You see that the rule (x, -y) is not being applied to any of the values in the problem the reflection has to be across the line x = -5.
