Reflections Across Axes in Geometry

Mr. Masonet explains how to reflect a triangle on the coordinate plane across both the x-axis and y-axis. He demonstrates the process by first identifying the current positions of the triangle's vertices, then reflecting across the x-axis by keeping x-values constant and changing y-values to their opposites. Similarly, for reflection across the y-axis, y-values remain constant while x-values become their opposites. The video provides a clear visual representation of these transformations.
