Question

e2On a piece of graph paper, draw a trapezoid in the second quadrant ofthe coordinate plane with vertices at the points shown1. A. Where do you think the image of the trapezoid will end up if it isreflected as they win?

Answer 1

Reflecting over the y axis simply means that all the coordinates of y will remain constant while that of x becomes - x. See it below:

A (-4, 5) = A' (4, 5)

B (-2, 4) = B' (2, 4)

C (-2, 1) = C' (2, 1)

D (-4, 1) = D' (4, 1)

We therefore see that based on the x coordinates, the trapezoid lies in the Second quadrant
