Identify the reflection of the figure with vertices T(−1,3), U(−3,−17), and V(12,−8) across the y-axis.

Answers:
T (−1, −3), U (−3, 17), V (12, 8)
T (1, −3), U (3, 17), V (−12, 8)
T (3, −1), U (−17, −3), V (−8, 12)
T (1, 3), U (3, −17), V (−12, −8)

Answer:

T (1, 3), U (3, −17), V (−12, −8)

Explanation:

To find the image as it is reflected from the preimage across the y-axis, apply the transformation rule, (x,y)→(−x,y), to each of the preimage points.

T(−1,3)→T'(1,3)

U(−3,−17)→U'(3,−17)

V(12,−8)→V'(−12,−8)

Draw lines between the found vertices to construct the reflected figure.

Therefore, the reflection of the figure with vertices T(−1,3), U(−3,−17), and V(12,−8) across the y-axis is the figure with vertices T'(1,3), U'(3,−17), and V'(−12,−8).

Answer:Reflecting over the y-axis = (x,y) → (-x,y)

So T will be (1,3) , U (3,-17) and V (-12. -8)

So D
