Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem asks for the algebraic rule that represents the transformation shown in the grid. Observing the transformation, we notice the following:
- Each point is transformed to a corresponding point .
- The shape is reflected across the y-axis.
To confirm, let’s examine the coordinates:
- For point (at approximately ), the transformed point is at .
- For point (at approximately ), the transformed point is at .
- For point (at approximately ), the transformed point is at .
This pattern shows that each point's x-coordinate changes from negative to positive (or vice versa), while the y-coordinate remains the same. This is characteristic of a reflection across the y-axis.
Algebraic Rule:
The transformation can be described by the rule:

Here are five related questions that might deepen your understanding:
- What would the transformation rule be for a reflection across the x-axis?
- How would the coordinates change if the transformation was a rotation instead of a reflection?
- What is the rule for a reflection across the line ?
- How do we determine if a transformation is a reflection, rotation, or translation?
- Can you find a point on the graph that remains unchanged by this reflection?
Tip: Always check how both the x- and y-coordinates change during transformations to identify the type of transformation accurately.
