Question

Is Figure A’B’C’D’ a reflection of Figure ABCD? Explain.

A graph showing two figures, each on one side of a diagonal line. Figure A B C D has coordinates A 2 comma 2, B 4 comma 4, C 8 comma 4, and D 10 comma 2. Figure A prime B prime C prime D prime has coordinates A prime 12 comma negative 8, B prime 14 comma negative 6, C prime 14 comma negative 2, and D prime 12 comma zero.


Yes; it is a reflection over the x-axis.



Yes; it is a reflection over the y-axis.



Yes; it is a reflection over line f.



No; it is not a reflection.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: Yes; it is a reflection over the y-axis.

To see why, imagine folding the graph along the y-axis. Points on the right-hand side of the y-axis remain on the right-hand side, while points on the left-hand side move to the right. This transformation is equivalent to reflecting the original figure across the y-axis.
