(a) Plot A, B and C where A(0, 4), B(1, 1) and C(4, 0).

(b) Reflect A and B on the x-axis and name them E and D respectively.

(c) Reflect B through the origin and name it F. Write down the coordinates of F.

(d) Reflect B and C on the y-axis and name them H and G respectively.

(e) Join A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and A in order and name the closed figure formed.

Exam-ready answer • 05 Mark

Answer

(a) Plot A(0, 4), B(1, 1) and C(4, 0) using the given scale.

(b) Reflection in the x-axis changes (x, y) to (x, −y).

Therefore, E, the reflection of A(0, 4), is E(0, −4).

D, the reflection of B(1, 1), is D(1, −1).

(c) Reflection through the origin changes (x, y) to (−x, −y).

Therefore, F, the reflection of B(1, 1), is F(−1, −1).

(d) Reflection in the y-axis changes (x, y) to (−x, y).

Therefore, H, the reflection of B(1, 1), is H(−1, 1).

G, the reflection of C(4, 0), is G(−4, 0).

(e) On joining A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and A in order, the closed figure formed is a star.
