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.

Respuesta :

The given vertices are A(1,4), B(3,-2), and C(4,2).

The reflection over the x-axis is expressed as

[tex](x,y)\rightarrow(x,-y)[/tex]

This means we have to multiple each y-coordinate with -1. Let's do it!

[tex]\begin{gathered} A(1,4)\rightarrow A^{\prime}(1,-4) \\ B(3,-2)\rightarrow B^{\prime}(3,2) \\ C(4,2)\rightarrow C^{\prime}(4,-2) \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the vertices of the new triangle are A'(1,-4), B'(3,2), and C'(4,-2)
