IExample 2 Reflection A trapezoid with the vertices W (-1.4) X(4.4) Y (4,1), and Z (-3 1) is reflected over the x-axisa.) Find the coordinates of the verticesof the image.b.) Graph trapezoid WXYZ and its

Answer 1

a) Reflection over the x-axis tranforms the point (x,y) into (x, -y). Then:

W (-1,4) → W' (-1,-4)

X (4,4) → X' (4,-4)

Y (4,1) → Y' (4,-1)

Z (-3,1) → Z' (-3,-1)

b) The graph is:
