Math Problem Statement
Michael reflects ΔPQR across the x-axis to form ΔP'Q'R' and then across the y-axis to form ΔP''Q''R''. What are the coordinates of vertex Q''?
Solution
To determine the coordinates of , let's go through the reflection steps provided in the problem.
Step-by-Step Solution
-
Identify Coordinates of :
- From the graph, the coordinates of are .
-
Reflect Across the x-axis to Form :
- Reflecting across the x-axis changes the y-coordinate to its opposite (negative value), while the x-coordinate remains the same.
- So, will have coordinates .
-
Reflect Across the y-axis to Form :
- Reflecting across the y-axis changes the x-coordinate to its opposite, while the y-coordinate stays the same.
- Therefore, will have coordinates .
Final Answer
The coordinates of are:
