Use the checkboxes to investigate how the triangle is reflected in either the x-axis or the y-axis.
Then answer the questions below.
Use what you learned from the investigation above to answer the following questions.
1.) If the point (2, 3) is reflected over the x-axis what is the new point?
2.) If the point (-4, 6) is reflected over the y-axis what is the new point?
3.) Triangle ABC has vertices A:(1, 2), B:(4, 3), and C:(3, 6). What are the new coordinates of the new vertices if Triangle ABC is reflected over the x-axis.
4.) Write a rule for reflecting a point over the x-axis.
5.) Write a rule for refelcting a point over the y-axis.
