Question

If rectangle ABCD was reflected over the y-axis, reflected over the x-axis, and rotated 180º, where would point A' lie? (1, -1) (1, 1) (-4, -1) (-4, 1)

Answer 1

Point A reamains unchanged.

Explanation:

Let

A(1, -1)

B(1, 1)

C(-4, -1)

D (-4, 1)

REFLECTED OVER Y-AXIS:

When we reflected over Y-AXIS we have to change the sign of X-Coordinates of all vertices so, above given vertices becomes

A(-1, -1)

B(-1, 1)

C(4, -1)

D (4, 1)

REFLECTED OVER X-AXIS:

When we reflected over X-AXIS we have to change the sign of Y-Coordinates of all vertices so, above given vertices becomes

A(-1, 1)

B(-1, -1)

C(4, 1)

D (4,-1)

When we rotated over 180 degree than we have to change the signs of both coordinates of all vertices

A(1, -1)

B(1, 1)

C(-4, -1)

D (-4,1)

we can see that after the opertion of all three processes i.e reflected over the y-axis, reflected over the x-axis, and rotated 180ºrespectively vertices are same as original vertices so, Rectangle remain unchanged. and point A is also unchanged
