Math Problem Statement

theses are the points whats the rest

These are the points; what's the rest?

Solution

To solve the problem:

Given:

You are reflecting the triangle ABC\triangle ABC over the x-axis. The reflection rule states: (x,y)(x,y)(x, y) \rightarrow (x, -y)

Steps:

  1. Apply the reflection rule to the given points:
    • A(1,3)A(1,3)A(-1, -3) \rightarrow A'(-1, 3)
    • B(2,4)B(2,4)B(-2, 4) \rightarrow B'(-2, -4)
    • C(1,5)C(1,5)C(1, 5) \rightarrow C'(1, -5)

Final Answer:

  • Reflected Points:

    • A=(1,3)A' = (-1, 3)
    • B=(2,4)B' = (-2, -4)
    • C=(1,5)C' = (1, -5)
  • Next Step: Plot these new points A,B,CA', B', C' on the graph.

Let me know if you want a detailed explanation of how reflection works or anything else. Here are some related questions to deepen your understanding:


Related Questions:

  1. What is the reflection rule for a line other than the x-axis (e.g., y-axis or diagonal)?
  2. How do you find the equation of a line of reflection given two corresponding points?
  3. Can you derive a formula for reflecting over the y-axis?
  4. How does reflection affect the orientation of shapes?
  5. What happens to the coordinates when reflecting across y=xy = x?

Tip:

When reflecting a shape over the x-axis, only the y-coordinate changes sign while the x-coordinate stays the same.
