Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve the problem of reflecting Figure across line , let's analyze the image:
-
Identify the reflection line : The given line passes through the origin and appears to have a slope of , so its equation is .
-
Reflection rules across : To reflect a point across , swap the coordinates and change their signs:
-
Vertices of Figure : Extract the vertices of the polygon . They seem to be:
- ,
- ,
- ,
- .
-
Apply the reflection transformation: Reflect each vertex using the rule for :
- ,
- ,
- ,
- .
-
Plot the reflected figure: The reflected polygon will have vertices at , , , and .
Would you like me to provide a visualization of the reflection or verify anything further?
