Question

. (02.01 MC) Triangle PAT has been reflected over the x-axis. Which of the following best describes the relationship between the x-axis and the line connecting P to P′? (4 points) They are parallel and congruent. They are perpendicular to each other. They share the same midpoints. They are diameters of concentric circles.

Answer 1

The option that best describes the relationship between the x-axis and the line connecting P to P′ is: They are perpendicular to each other.

How to Interpret the Transformation?

There are different types of transformation such as:

Reflection

Rotation

Dilation

Translation

Now, after a reflection over the x-axis, the image will just be a mirrored one and as such the line joining P and P' will be perpendicular to the X axis.
