Question
- use the graph shown to complete each statement below
a. give a verbal description of the transformation
(handwritten: reflection over the y - axis)
b. give an algebraic representation of the transformation
(handwritten: (x,y)→(-x,y))
c. list which of the following changed or stayed the same:
- size of the figure:
- orientation of the figure:
- orientation of the vertices:
- bella believes the graph shows a translation down while
scott believes it shows a reflection over the x - axis. who is
correct? explain.
- triangle abc has the coordinates shown in the table. miguel
is going to reflect the triangle using the rule (x, y) → (-x, y).
a. what is the line of reflection?
b. list the coordinates of the image in the table. in which
quadrant will the image lie?
in 6 - 8, use the description to identify the line of reflection and write an algebraic representation
for the reflection.
| 6. point a(8, -1) is reflected to a(-8, -1). | 7. a figure is reflected from quadrant i to iv. | 8. point z(-5, 7) is reflected to z(-5, -7). |
|---|---|---|
| algebraic representation |
summarize today’s lesson:
Problem 3 (Top Graph)
Step1: Describe transformation verbally
The figure is reflected over the y-axis.
Step2: Write algebraic rule
For reflection over y-axis: $(x,y)
ightarrow (-x,y)$
Step3: Analyze size change
Size stays the same (congruent figures).
Step4: Analyze figure orientation
Orientation is reversed (mirror image).
Step5: Analyze vertex orientation
Vertex order is reversed (mirror direction).
A translation down would shift all points vertically without flipping the figure. A reflection over the x-axis flips the figure across the x-axis, reversing the sign of the y-coordinates. The graph shows the figure is flipped (not just shifted), matching a reflection over the x-axis.
Step1: Identify reflection line
Rule $(x,y)
ightarrow (-x,y)$ matches reflection over y-axis.
Step2: Calculate image coordinates
Apply rule to each point:
$A(-4,-6)
ightarrow (4,-6)$
$B(-5,-8)
ightarrow (5,-8)$
$C(-1,-3)
ightarrow (1,-3)$
Step3: Identify quadrant
Points with positive x, negative y lie in Quadrant IV.
