Question

Graph the reflection of the polygon in the given line: x- axis.

hintHint:

Reflect the given points on the graph directly, to obtain the efficient reflection points.

The correct answer is:


    * In Geometry, a reflection is known as a flip. A reflection is a mirror image of the shape. An image will reflect through a line, known as the line of reflection.
    *It is a type of transformation that produces mirror image of the shape.
    The reflection transformation can be done in many ways.
    *Reflection over X-axis
    *Reflection over Y=X
    Given That:

    >>>The reflection of a point (a, b) with respect to x-axis becomes (a, -b).
    >>>Similarly, the coordinates of vertices of the given polygon becomes:
    A (2,3) → A’ (2, -3)
    B (6,1) → B’ (6, -1)
    C (7,5) → C’ (7, -5)
    >>>Therefore, the image becomes:

    If (a, b) is reflected in the x-axis, its image is the point (a, -b).
    A (2,3) → A’ (2, -3)
    B (6,1) → B’ (6, -1)
    C (7,5) → C’ (7, -5)
    >>>Therefore, the points of reflection of the given polygon are: (2,-3); (6,-1); (7,-5).
