as a graded class activity, your teacher asks your class to reflect a triangle across the y-axis and then across the x-axis. Your classmate gets upset because he reversed the order of these reflections and thinks he will have to start over. What can you say to your classmate to help him?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Both processes will yield same results and he need not worry

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us firstly check if we will have same results on both steps

y before x

Let us have the point (x,y) on the triangle

y reflection

(-x,y)

then x reflection

(-x,-y)

Let us now get the order in which my friend followed

x reflection

(x, -y)

y reflection

(-x,-y)

we can see that both processes have same results and thus, my friend need not worry

Answer:

The order of these two reflections  

does not

matter. The resulting image  

is

the same for a reflection in the y-axis followed by a reflection in the x-axis as for a reflection in the x-axis followed by a reflection in the y-axis.
