Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's work through the questions in the image you've uploaded. Here's a breakdown of the problems:
Problem 6:
Reflection of point G(5, 3) over the x-axis:
When a point is reflected over the x-axis, the y-coordinate changes sign while the x-coordinate remains the same. So the coordinates of the reflected point will be:
Problem 7:
Reflection of point T(1, 6) over the line :
When reflecting a point over the line , the x- and y-coordinates are swapped. So the coordinates of the reflected point will be:
Problem 8:
This problem asks you to write a reflection rule for mapping each triangle to its image:
Part (a):
Points are given as , and their corresponding reflected points .
By examining the changes in the coordinates:
- For to , the reflection occurs over the line .
- For to , the y-coordinate changes sign, which is a reflection over the x-axis.
- For to , the y-coordinate also changes sign.
So the reflection seems to be over the x-axis.
Part (b):
Points are given as , and their corresponding reflected points .
Here, it seems that the reflection is happening over the x-axis again, since all the y-coordinates are changing sign.
Would you like further details or clarification on any of these steps?
Relative Questions:
- How would the reflection of a point over the y-axis change the coordinates?
- How do you reflect a point over a diagonal line like ?
- What are the properties of a rigid transformation, and why is a size change not a rigid motion?
- Could you reflect a figure over an arbitrary line, like ? How would you do it?
- How can you determine whether a transformation is a rotation or reflection based only on the coordinates?
Tip:
For reflections over the x-axis or y-axis, remember to only change the sign of one coordinate: the y-coordinate for reflections over the x-axis and the x-coordinate for reflections over the y-axis.

Theorems
Reflection Theorem: When reflecting a point over a line, the reflected point is the same distance from the line as the original point.
