To reflect the trapezoid \( ABCD \) over the y-axis, we need to follow a simple rule for reflection over the y-axis. Each point \( (x, y) \) is reflected to the point \( (-x, y) \). Let's reflect each of the vertices of the trapezoid over the y-axis.

### Current Coordinates of Trapezoid ABCD:
- \( A(1, 2) \)
- \( B(5, 2) \)
- \( C(6, -1) \)
- \( D(1, -1) \)

### Reflected Coordinates:
- \( A'(-1, 2) \)
- \( B'(-5, 2) \)
- \( C'(-6, -1) \)
- \( D'(-1, -1) \)

So, the reflected trapezoid has the following vertices:
- \( A'(-1, 2) \)
- \( B'(-5, 2) \)
- \( C'(-6, -1) \)
- \( D'(-1, -1) \)

Would you like me to plot this reflection or provide more details on the reflection process?

Here are 5 questions related to reflection and transformations:
1. What are other types of transformations besides reflection?
2. How do you reflect a shape over the x-axis?
3. What changes when you reflect a shape over the origin?
4. How can we use matrix operations for geometric reflections?
5. What are the properties of a trapezoid, and do they change under reflection?

**Tip**: When reflecting a shape, only the coordinates that lie along the axis of reflection stay unchanged.

Learn how to reflect trapezoid ABCD over the y-axis in a step-by-step process. This reflection applies the rule (x, y) → (-x, y) for each vertex, showing the transformation of trapezoid ABCD to A'B'C'D'. Suitable for students in Grades 6-8.
