Answer Key

1)  U’ (-2, -3)

2)  Y'(-2, 2)

3)  K’ (-2, -2)

4)  C’ (-1, -1), E’ (0, -1), M’ (-3, -3) and W’ (-1, -3)

5)  W’ (4, 0), I’ (1, -1) and X’ (3, -5)

6)   D’ (2, -3)E’ (-2, -2),  F’ (-3, -4)

7)   I’ (-4, 0), J’ (0, 2), K’ (2, -1) and L’ (0, -3)

8)  J’ (2, -4), K’ (3, -1), L’ (1, -1) and M’ (-2, -5)

9) 

a)  reflection across x-axis

A(−4, −3) ==> A'(-4, 3)

B(−4, −1) ==> B'(-4, 1)

C(−1, −1) ==> C'(-1, 1)

 D(−1, −3) ==> D'(-1, 3)

b) Reflection across y-axis

(x, y) ==> (-x, y)

A(−4, −3) ==> A'(4, -3)

B(−4, −1) ==> B'(4, -1)

C(−1, −1) ==> C'(1, -1)

 D(−1, −3) ==> D'(1, -3)

c. Yes, after reflection the shapes are congruent.

10) 

P (−2, 5) ==> P' (2, 5)

Q (−1, −1) ==>Q' (1, -1) 

R (−4, 2) ==> R' (4, -2)

S (−4, 4) ==> S' (4, 4)

11) (3, 4) ==> (3, -4)

12) (3, 4) ==> (-3, 4)

13) y = -2x + 3

14) 

P'(2, 5) ==> P(2, -5)

So, option c is correct.
