Math Problem Statement
Solution
To reflect the image across the line , we need to use the following reflection rule for coordinates:
If a point is reflected over the line , the new x-coordinate becomes:
Thus, the new x-coordinate of the reflected point will be:
The y-coordinate will remain the same. Now let's calculate the reflection for each point :
Step 1: Coordinates of
From the image, the coordinates of appear to be:
Step 2: Reflect each point over
Using the formula , reflect each point:

- How do you reflect a shape across any arbitrary vertical line?
- What changes when reflecting over a horizontal line instead?
- How do transformations like translation and rotation differ from reflection?
- Can you identify the rule for reflecting across the line ?
- How does reflecting over diagonal lines differ from vertical or horizontal?
Tip: When reflecting over vertical lines like , only the x-coordinate changes, while the y-coordinate stays the same.
