Solution
To reflect quadrilateral ABCD over the y-axis, we apply the following rule for each vertex:
- When reflecting over the y-axis, the -coordinate of each point changes sign, while the -coordinate stays the same.
The coordinates of the vertices , , , and are needed from the graph. I'll analyze the positions of the points from the image:
-
Coordinates of A:
- After reflection over the y-axis: (no change since it's on the y-axis).
-
Coordinates of B:
- After reflection over the y-axis: .
-
Coordinates of C:
- After reflection over the y-axis: .
-
Coordinates of D:
- After reflection over the y-axis: .
These new points represent the reflection of quadrilateral ABCD over the y-axis. Let me know if you need a further breakdown!
Here are five related questions:
- How would you reflect a shape over the x-axis instead of the y-axis?
- What happens to the coordinates when reflecting over the origin?
- How do you calculate the distance between two points after reflection?
- What is the general transformation rule for reflecting over any vertical line ?
- How can you verify the reflected image using a distance formula?
Tip: When reflecting a point, always check the axis of reflection carefully, as only one coordinate changes depending on the axis.
