A (4, -1), B (0, 7) and C (-2, 5) are the vertices of a triangle. ∆ABC is reflected in the y-axis and then reflected in the origin. Find the coordinates of the final images of the vertices.
Solution:
Use a graph paper for this question (take 2 cm = 1 unit on both x and y axes).
(i) Plot the following points:
A (0, 4), B (2, 3), C (1, 1) and D (2, 0).
(ii) Reflect points B, C, D on the y-axis and write down their coordinates. Name the images as B’, C’, D’ respectively.
(iii) Join points A, B, C, D, D’, C’, B’ and A in order, so as to form a closed figure. Write down the equation of line of symmetry of the figure formed. (2017)
