Which choice shows the coordinates of B' if the trapezoid is reflected across the x-axis? On a coordinate plane, trapezoid A B C D has points (2, 2), (7, 2), (5, 1), (3, 1). (–7, 2) (2, –7) (7, –2) (–2, 7)

Answer:

(7, -2)

Explanation:

The trapezoid A B C D has points (2, 2), (7, 2), (5, 1), (3, 1).

Transformation of a point is the change in location from an original position to a new position. If a shape is transformed, all its points are also transformed. A transformation can either be a rotation, translation, reflection or dilation.

If a point O(x,y) is reflected across the y axis, the new coordinate of the point is at O'(x, -y), i.e. the x coordinate does not change, but the y coordinate is negated.

Since in trapezoid ABCD, the coordinate of point B is (7, 2). The trapezoid is reflected across the x-axis, therefore the new coordinate of B' is at (7, -2)
