What happens to the coordinates of a point when it is reflected across the x-axis?

Back

The y-coordinate of the point changes sign, while the x-coordinate remains the same.

If triangle ABC is reflected across the line y = 1, how do the coordinates of point A change?

Back

What is the effect of a translation on the shape of a figure?

Back

A translation does not change the shape or size of a figure; it only changes its position.
