A triangle ABC where A(−2,3),B(4,−4) and C(6,−7) is reflected in the x- axis onto △A′B′C′ and then is reflected in the origin onto △A"B"C".Write down the co-ordinates of (i) A′,B′,C′ and (ii) A",B",C".
A‘(−2,−3),B‘(4,4),C‘(6,7);
A′′(2,3),B′′(−4,−4),C′′(−6,−7)
When a point is reflected in the x axis, the sign of its ordinate changes. Hence, the coordinates of A′,B′,C′ are A‘(−2,−3),B‘(4,4),C‘(6,7) respectively.
When a point is reflected in the origin, the sign of its ordinate and abscissa changes. Hence, the coordinates of A",B",C" is the reflection of A′,B′,C′ in origin.
Coordinates of A",B",C" are A′′(2,3),B′′(−4,−4),C′′(−6,−7) respectively.
