Question

Plz I'm sooooo confuzzled: If you reflect any shape across the x-axis and then across the y-axis, do you get the same result that you would if you rotated it 180° about the origin? What does that mean?

Answer 1

it's correct because even though rotating 90° is not the same as reflecting about the y-axis, when you reflect again about the x-axis, it becomes the same as reflecting an additional 90°.

so reflecting about y and then about x is the same as rotating 180°.

Explanation:

if you reflect (x, y) in 180° it becomes (-x,-y)

when you reflect about the y-axis, (x,y) becomes (-x,y).

when you reflect again about the x-axis, (-x,y) becomes (-x,-y) which is the same as the 180°

Answer 2

the answer is true

Explanation:

If the shape is in the upper left quadrant then you reflect it across the x-axis it would be in the lower left quadrant, next you reflect across the y-axis it would be in the lower right quadrant, finally, if you rotate it 180 degrees it would be where it started.
