A △ ABC where A (1, 2), B (4, 8) and C (6, 8) is reflected in the origin to △ A1B1C1. △ A1B1C1 is then reflected in the x - axis to △ A2, B2, C2. Write down the coordinates of A2, B2, C2. Which single transformation could have provided the final co-ordinate of A2, B2, C2?
A2(−1,2),B2(−4,8),C2(−6,8),
Transformation through y-axis
When a point is reflected in the origin, the sign of its ordinate and abscissa changes. Hence, the coordinates of A1B1C1 are A1(−1,−2),B1(−4,−8),C1(−6,−8).
When a point is reflected in the x axis, the sign of its ordinate changes. Hence, the coordinates are A2 (-1, 2), B2 (-4, 8), C2 (-6, 8) .
A Single transformation about y-axis will provide final co-ordinates of A2, B2, C2
