PLLLEAAASSSEE HHEEELLLPPP!! :-))))


1) Write a translation rule that maps point D(7, –3) onto point D'(2, 5).

2) Triangle ABC has coordinates A(1, 4); B(3, –2); and C(4, 2). Find the coordinates of the image A'B'C' after a reflection over the x-axis.

Any help would be appreciated. I have a hard time with this stuff. :-)

Okay, well first look at the graph of the point "D". A translation from (7, -3) to (2, 5) is a movement of 8 units up, and 5 units left. So the conversion factor is (8, -5).

Now, I understand the points of the triangle are at (1, 4) (3, -2) and (4, 0). To reflect across the x-axis, to do this, merely flip the signs of the y-values of the coordinates.

A(1, 4) = A'(1, -4)
B(3, -2) = B' (3, 2)
C(4, 0) = C'(4, 0)

And that's all folks!
