Question

If the trapezoid is reflected over the line segment BC, what will be the new coordinates of point A?

Answer 1

(13,15)

Explanation:

If the trapezoid were to be reflected over the line segment BC, the new coordinates of point A would be (13,15) as it moves to right 5 points from BC sides.

Answer 2

(B) 13,15

Explanation:

If we look at point A in relation to point B, we see that it's 5 units to the left and 3 units down from point B, therefore making it at (3,15). Now, if we reflect across line BC (which is a y-axis) then we change the X value, not the y value. If the line BC is located at X=8, then the X value will be 8+5, since point A is 5 units away from the line BC. The y value will stay the same because we are reflecting over only one axis. 8+5 = 13, and the y stays at 15, so the new point value of A would be (13,15).

Hope this helped!
