Triangle abc has coordinates A(1,4) b(3,-2) and c (4,2) Find the coordinates of the image abc after a reflection over the x axis

Answer 1

The rule for translating a point across the x-axis is:

(x,y) ---> (x, -y)

For instance, the point A on your triangle would translate as follows:

A ---> a

(1,4) ---> (1,-4)

Can you do points B and C? For more information on geometric transformations, check out the following Wyzant file:
