Math Problem Statement
Solution
This worksheet focuses on reflections of geometric figures across the x-axis and y-axis on a coordinate plane.
Key Reflection Rules:
-
Reflection across the y-axis:
- The x-coordinate changes sign, but the y-coordinate stays the same.
-
Reflection across the x-axis:
- The y-coordinate changes sign, but the x-coordinate stays the same.
Would you like me to provide step-by-step solutions for each problem? Let me know if you need help graphing them or verifying answers.
Related Questions:
- How do reflections differ from rotations and translations in transformations?
- What are the effects of multiple reflections on a shape?
- How can you determine the line of reflection given an original and reflected figure?
- What happens when a point is reflected twice over perpendicular axes?
- Can reflection rules be extended to three-dimensional geometry?
Tip:
Always check the distance of each vertex from the reflection line to ensure accuracy. The reflected point should be equidistant from the line but on the opposite side.
