Question

describing reflections
each coordinate plane below shows a pre - image and its reflected image. write a sentence to describe each reflection. the first problem has been completed for you.
①
triangle pqr was reflected over the x - axis to form triangle pqr
②
③
④

Explanation:

Step1: Observe figure 2

The pre - image rectangle $JKLM$ and its image $J'K'L'M'$ are symmetric about the y - axis.

Step2: Observe figure 3

The pre - image trapezoid $WXYZ$ and its image $W'X'Y'Z'$ are symmetric about the x - axis.

Step3: Observe figure 4

The pre - image triangle $ABC$ and its image $A'B'C'$ are symmetric about the y - axis.

Answer:

1. Rectangle $JKLM$ was reflected over the y - axis to form rectangle $J'K'L'M'$.
2. Trapezoid $WXYZ$ was reflected over the x - axis to form trapezoid $W'X'Y'Z'$.
3. Triangle $ABC$ was reflected over the y - axis to form triangle $A'B'C'$.
