Read each question carefully and follow the instructions to complete the reflections. You may use a ruler and pencil for drawing.

1. Plot the point A(3, 2) on the coordinate plane. Then, reflect point A across the x-axis to find A'. Write the coordinates of A'.

Coordinates of A':

2. Reflect the triangle with vertices B(1, 4), C(3, 1), and D(5, 4) across the y-axis. Plot the original triangle and its reflection. Write the coordinates of the reflected vertices B', C', and D'.

Coordinates of B':

Coordinates of C':

Coordinates of D':

3. What are the coordinates of the point ( -2, 5 ) after it is reflected across the x-axis?

( 2, 5 )

( -2, -5 )

( 2, -5 )

( -5, 2 )

4. When a point is reflected across the x-axis, the -coordinate changes its sign, and the -coordinate remains the same.

5. When a point is reflected across the y-axis, the -coordinate remains the same, and the -coordinate changes its sign.

6. A square has vertices at E(-4, 1), F(-1, 1), G(-1, 4), and H(-4, 4). Reflect the square across the line y = -1. Plot the original square and its reflection. Write the coordinates of E', F', G', H'.

Coordinates of E':

Coordinates of F':

Coordinates of G':

Coordinates of H':

7. A reflection is a type of transformation that flips a figure over a line.
