Question

A preimage polygon is reflected across the x-axis, and then reflected a second time across the y-axis. the orientation of the final image is the ____ the orientation of the preimage.

Answer 1

same as

Step-by-step explanation:

A reflection is a transformation representing a flip of a figure.

When reflecting across the x-axis, the y-coordinates change sign. The image is a mirror image or is flipped. Hence the orientation flips.

The second reflection across the y-axis will then change the x-coordinates sign, producing another mirror image. Hence, flip twice will restore the original orientation.
