Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's go step-by-step through the problem based on the image you provided:
1. Plot points A, B, and C on the grid and join them:
- A = (1, 1)
- B = (3, 3)
- C = (4, 1)
After plotting these points on the given grid, you can connect them to form triangle ABC.
2. Transformations on triangle ABC:
a) Translate by :
- Translation involves shifting the triangle.
- For point A:
- For point B:
- For point C:
- New coordinates of triangle A'B'C' after translation are: A'(3, 2), B'(5, 4), C'(6, 2).
b) Reflect in the y-axis:
- Reflection in the y-axis changes the sign of the x-coordinate.
- For point A:
- For point B:
- For point C:
- New coordinates of triangle A"B"C" after reflection are: A"(-1, 1), B"(-3, 3), C"(-4, 1).
c) Rotate clockwise by 180° about (0, 0):
- Rotation by 180° changes both the x- and y-coordinates to their opposites.
- For point A:
- For point B:
- For point C:
- New coordinates of triangle A'''B'''C''' after 180° rotation are: A'''(-1, -1), B'''(-3, -3), C'''(-4, -1).
d) Reflect in the line :
- To reflect across the line , calculate the distance from each point to , then move each point the same distance in the opposite direction.
- For point A: The distance from to is 2 units. So, after reflection, .
- For point B: The distance from to is 4 units. So, after reflection, .
- For point C: The distance from to is 2 units. So, after reflection, .
- New coordinates of triangle A''''B''''C'''' after reflection are: A''''(1, -3), B''''(3, -5), C''''(4, -3).
Let me know if you'd like any further details on the steps or have additional questions.
Here are five relative questions:
- How do you plot points on a coordinate plane?
- What is the general rule for translating points in a coordinate plane?
- What happens to the coordinates of a point when reflecting in the y-axis?
- How do you calculate a 180° rotation of a point around the origin?
- How can you determine the reflection of a point across a horizontal line like ?
Tip:
When reflecting over a line, first calculate the perpendicular distance from the point to the line. Then move the same distance in the opposite direction!
