extra credit:
- reflect the triangle across the given line
$y=2x - 1$
For problem 9:
Step1: Recall reflection rule for $y=k$
For a point $(x,y)$, reflection across $y=1$ uses $y' = 2(1) - y$, $x'=x$.
Step2: Reflect point $P(2,2)$
$x'=2$, $y'=2(1)-2=0$ → $P'(2,0)$
Step3: Reflect point $Q(3,4)$
$x'=3$, $y'=2(1)-4=-2$ → $Q'(3,-2)$
Step4: Reflect point $R(4,4)$
$x'=4$, $y'=2(1)-4=-2$ → $R'(4,-2)$
Step5: Reflect point $S(2,0)$
$x'=2$, $y'=2(1)-0=2$ → $S'(2,2)$
Step1: Recall reflection formula for line $y=mx+b$
For a point $(x_0,y_0)$, reflection $(x',y')$ is:
Here $m=2$, $b=-1$
Step2: Calculate for $A(-4,-2)$
First compute $\frac{mx_0 - y_0 + b}{m^2+1}=\frac{2(-4)-(-2)-1}{4+1}=\frac{-8+2-1}{5}=\frac{-7}{5}$
$x'=-4 - 2(2)(\frac{-7}{5})=-4+\frac{28}{5}=\frac{8}{5}=1.6$
$y'=-2 + 2(\frac{-7}{5})=-2-\frac{14}{5}=\frac{-24}{5}=-4.8$ → $A'(\frac{8}{5}, -\frac{24}{5})$
Step3: Calculate for $B(-2,1)$
$\frac{2(-2)-(1)-1}{5}=\frac{-4-1-1}{5}=\frac{-6}{5}$
$x'=-2 - 2(2)(\frac{-6}{5})=-2+\frac{24}{5}=\frac{14}{5}=2.8$
$y'=1 + 2(\frac{-6}{5})=1-\frac{12}{5}=\frac{-7}{5}=-1.4$ → $B'(\frac{14}{5}, -\frac{7}{5})$
Step4: Calculate for $C(-5,-3)$
$\frac{2(-5)-(-3)-1}{5}=\frac{-10+3-1}{5}=\frac{-8}{5}$
$x'=-5 - 2(2)(\frac{-8}{5})=-5+\frac{32}{5}=\frac{7}{5}=1.4$
$y'=-3 + 2(\frac{-8}{5})=-3-\frac{16}{5}=\frac{-31}{5}=-6.2$ → $C'(\frac{7}{5}, -\frac{31}{5})$

For extra credit problem 11:
First, identify the triangle's vertices from the graph: let's assume they are $A(-4,-2)$, $B(-2,1)$, $C(-5,-3)$ (from the grid)
