Part a

The vertices of △ABC\triangle ABC are given as A(4,−4)A(4, -4), B(8,−8)B(8, -8), and C(4,−8)C(4, -8).

To draw △ABC\triangle ABC, plot these points on a graph sheet with perpendicular axes OxOx and OyOy, using a scale of 2 cm2 \text{ cm} to 2 units2 \text{ units} (which means 1 cm1 \text{ cm} represents 1 unit1 \text{ unit}) for intervals −10≤x≤10-10 \le x \le 10 and −10≤y≤10-10 \le y \le 10. Then connect the points AA to BB, BB to CC, and CC to AA.

Part b

A1(4,4),B1(8,8),C1(4,8)A_1(4, 4), B_1(8, 8), C_1(4, 8)

To find the image △A1B1C1\triangle A_1B_1C_1 of △ABC\triangle ABC under a reflection in the x-axis, we use the transformation rule (x,y)→(x,−y)(x, y) \to (x, -y).

  1. Apply the rule to point A(4,−4)A(4, -4).

    A1=(4,−(−4))=(4,4)A_1 = (4, -(-4)) = (4, 4)
  2. Apply the rule to point B(8,−8)B(8, -8).

    B1=(8,−(−8))=(8,8)B_1 = (8, -(-8)) = (8, 8)
  3. Apply the rule to point C(4,−8)C(4, -8).

    C1=(4,−(−8))=(4,8)C_1 = (4, -(-8)) = (4, 8)

    The vertices of △A1B1C1\triangle A_1B_1C_1 are A1(4,4),B1(8,8),C1(4,8)\boxed{A_1(4, 4), B_1(8, 8), C_1(4, 8)}.

Part c

A2(−4,4),B2(−8,8),C2(−4,8)A_2(-4, 4), B_2(-8, 8), C_2(-4, 8)

To find the image △A2B2C2\triangle A_2B_2C_2 of △A1B1C1\triangle A_1B_1C_1 under a reflection in the y-axis, we use the transformation rule (x,y)→(−x,y)(x, y) \to (-x, y).

  1. Apply the rule to point A1(4,4)A_1(4, 4).

    A2=(−4,4)A_2 = (-4, 4)
  2. Apply the rule to point B1(8,8)B_1(8, 8).

    B2=(−8,8)B_2 = (-8, 8)
  3. Apply the rule to point C1(4,8)C_1(4, 8).

    C2=(−4,8)C_2 = (-4, 8)

    The vertices of △A2B2C2\triangle A_2B_2C_2 are A2(−4,4),B2(−8,8),C2(−4,8)\boxed{A_2(-4, 4), B_2(-8, 8), C_2(-4, 8)}.

    d) To find the image △A3B3C3\triangle A_3B_3C_3 of △A2B2C2\triangle A_2B_2C_2 under a reflection in the line y=2y=2, we use the transformation rule (x,y)→(x,2k−y)(x, y) \to (x, 2k - y), where k=2k=2. So the rule is (x,y)→(x,2(2)−y)=(x,4−y)(x, y) \to (x, 2(2) - y) = (x, 4 - y).

  4. Apply the rule to point A2(−4,4)A_2(-4, 4).

    A3=(−4,4−4)=(−4,0)A_3 = (-4, 4 - 4) = (-4, 0)
  5. Apply the rule to point B2(−8,8)B_2(-8, 8).

    B3=(−8,4−8)=(−8,−4)B_3 = (-8, 4 - 8) = (-8, -4)
  6. Apply the rule to point C2(−4,8)C_2(-4, 8).

    C3=(−4,4−8)=(−4,−4)C_3 = (-4, 4 - 8) = (-4, -4)

    The vertices of △A3B3C3\triangle A_3B_3C_3 are A3(−4,0),B3(−8,−4),C3(−4,−4)\boxed{A_3(-4, 0), B_3(-8, -4), C_3(-4, -4)}.
