Diagram Description

Triangle ABC and its image after transformation

Triangle ABC is shown on a coordinate grid. The triangle is reflected across the y-axis to form triangle A'B'C'.

PointCoordinates of ABCCoordinates of A'B'C'
A(2,3)(-2,3)
B(4,1)(-4,1)
C(3,5)(-3,5)
  1. a

    Describe the transformation that maps triangle ABC onto triangle A'B'C'.

    Aim for approximately 2 distinct marking points.
