The vertices of ABC are A(-5,4), B(-2,4), and C(-3,2). If ABC is reflected across the y-axis to produce the image A'B'C', find the coordinate of the vertex A'.

The vertices of ABC are A54 B24 and C32 If ABC is reflected across the yaxis to produce the image ABC find the coordinate of the vertex A class=

Respuesta :

remember that it is in form (x,y)
reflected across the y axis means that x value is multiplied by -1 and the y value remains the same

think of it like you are standing in front of a mirror and you see yourself 'in' the mirror
immagine that it wasn't a mirror and it was a door
lets say that someone was looking from the side and saw the door in the middle and you on either side
that is reflected across the y axis with the door being the y axis


so we are only concerned with the vertex A
A=(-5,4)
we must multiply the x value by -1 so
(x,y)
x=-5
-5 times -1=+5
the point is (5,4)
