First, rewrite the equation in the form:
The equation given is:
Multiply both sides by 2:
Rewrite in standard form (as above):
In the equation above (in blue), we have:
To find the
-value of the reflected point of each given point, we use the following equations:
Substituting the values of 𝐴 = 1, 𝐵 = −2, 𝐶 = 32, we get:
We now find the reflected point for each point on the lizard:
Let’s look at the first example: Point 𝐴(12,12). This point has the coordinates
𝑥 value of the reflected point |
𝑦 value of the reflected point |
So the coordinates of 𝐴 are (12,12) and the coordinates of 𝐴’ are (4,28)
Let’s now perform the same operations on all the other points
