Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's solve this reflection problem step by step.
You are asked to reflect the quadrilateral across the line . The rule for reflecting a point over the line is to switch the coordinates, meaning the new point will be .
Part A: Coordinates of
We need to identify the original coordinates of the points , , , and from the graph, and then apply the reflection rule.
-
Point : The coordinates of appear to be .
- Reflecting over , the new coordinates will be .
-
Point : The coordinates of are .
- Reflecting over , the new coordinates will be .
-
Point : The coordinates of are .
- Reflecting over , the new coordinates will be (which stays the same).
-
Point : The coordinates of are .
- Reflecting over , the new coordinates will be .
Part B: Drawing the Reflection
To complete the task, you would plot the reflected points , , , and on the graph.
