Math Problem Statement
Write the coordinates of the vertices after a reflection over the line y = x.
Solution
To reflect the coordinates of each vertex of this shape over the line , we need to swap the - and -coordinates of each point. I will analyze the points as follows:
Given Coordinates
Based on the image:
- Point is at .
- Point is at .
- Point is at .
- Point is at .
Reflected Coordinates over
To find the reflected coordinates, swap and for each point:
- reflects to .
- reflects to .
- reflects to .
- reflects to .
Reflected Coordinates Summary
After reflection over :
- is at .
- is at .
- is at .
- is at .

Here are five related questions that might deepen your understanding:
- What is the general rule for reflecting points over the line ?
- How would the coordinates change if we reflected them over the line instead?
- How do you find the equation of a line of symmetry for different types of geometric shapes?
- Can you describe the transformations required to map a point to its reflection over the origin?
- What are the applications of reflections in real-world contexts, such as computer graphics?
Tip: When reflecting a point over the line , simply swap the - and -coordinates of the point!
