QuestionFind the reflection rule for triangle to .
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The coordinates of the original triangle are C(3,8), D(5,12),(4,6) . The coordinates of the reflected image are C'(-8,-3), D'(-12,5),'(-6,-4)
STEP 2
We can start by comparing the coordinates of the original points and their reflected images. This will help us determine the rule of reflection.
STEP 3
Let's compare the coordinates of point C and its reflected image C'.
STEP 4
We can see that the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of point C have been negated to obtain the coordinates of point C'. This suggests that the reflection might be over the origin.
STEP 5
To confirm this, let's compare the coordinates of point D and its reflected image D'.
STEP 6
Again, we can see that the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of point D have been negated to obtain the coordinates of point D'. This further supports the idea that the reflection might be over the origin.
STEP 7
Finally, let's compare the coordinates of point and its reflected image'.
STEP 8
Once more, we can see that the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of point have been negated to obtain the coordinates of point'. This confirms that the reflection is over the origin.
STEP 9
The rule of reflection over the origin is that the coordinates of any point (x, y) become (-x, -y) after reflection.
The reflection of the triangle CDE over the origin is the triangle C'D'E' with C'(-8,-3), D'(-12,5),'(-6,-4).
The rule of reflection is over the origin.
