Answer:

  • a reflection of the line segment across the y-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

The transformations of the end points are:

Preimage Image

  • (–4, –6) → (4, –6)

  • (–6, 4) → (–6, 4)

The means that, for every end point, the x-coordinate changes the sign and the y-coordinate remains unchanged.

That rule is:

  • (x, y) → (- x, y): this is a reflection across the y-axis.

Keeping the y-coordinate and changing the sign of the x-coordinate is a reflection across the y -axis. It is like a mirror image, where the mirror is placed along the y-axis. The figure keeps the same distance from the y-axis (the mirror) but changes sides, which is represented by the change of x to - x, while the altitude (the y-coordinate) keeps unchanged.
