Question

Which choice shows the coordinates of C’ if the trapezoid is reflected across the y-axis?

A) (-5,3)
B) (3,-5)
C) (5,-3)
D) (-3,5)

Answer 1

C) (5,-3)

See attached image for explanation.

Answer 2

A

Explanation:

C is located at (5,3).

If you want to reflect this over the y-axis, you need to have the same distance that (5,3) is to the y-axis on both sides.

If you look at your graph you should see that (5,3) is 5 units a way from the y-axis so when you put it on the other side it should be 5 units a way also.

So the reflection will give you (-5,3)
