Reflection over the x-axis Example 1 Image Original Image Point Coordinates Angle Coordinates A (-6, -4) A B (0,0) B' C (2, -4) C Orginal

Answer 1

We need to reflect the 3 points over the x-axis.

The rule for transformation about x-axis:

• keep x coordinate same

,

• negate y coordinate

Let's transform the 3 points using this rule, so:

A(-6,-4) would become A'(-6,4)

B(0,0) would remain B'(0,0)

C(2,-4) would become C'(2,4)
