Lne segment AC and BD are parallel, what are the new endpoints of the line segments AC and BD if the parallel lines are reflected across the y-axis?

Lne segment AC and BD are parallel what are the new endpoints of the line segments AC and BD if the parallel lines are reflected across the yaxis class=

Respuesta :

Given a point P = (x, y) a reflection P' alongside the y axis of that point follows the rule:

[tex]P=(x,y)\Rightarrow P^{\prime}=(-x,y)[/tex]

We need to multiply the x coordinates of the points by (-1)

The cordinates of the points in the problem are:

A = (2, 5)

B = (2, 4)

C = (-5, 1)

D = (-5, 0)

Then the endpoints of the reflection over the y axis are:

A' = (-2, 5)

B' = (-2, 4)

C' = (5, 1)

D' = (5, 0)

Which is the second option.
