  1. Five points are plotted on the coordinate plane.Geogebra Applet (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.   (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
    • Using the Pen tool or the Text tool, label each with its coordinates.
    • Using the xx-axis as the line of reflection, plot the image of each point.
    • Label the image of each point using a letter. For example, the image of point AA should be labeled A′A′.
    • Label each with its coordinates.
  2. If the point (13,10)(13,10) were reflected using the xx-axis as the line of reflection, what would be coordinates of the image? What about (13,-20)(13,-20)? (13,570)(13,570)? Explain how you know.
  3. The point RR has coordinates (3,2)(3,2).
    • Without graphing, predict the coordinates of the image of point RR if point RR were reflected using the yy-axis as the line of reflection.
    • Check your answer by finding the image of RR on the graph.
    • Label the image of point RR as R′R′.
    • What are the coordinates of R′R′?
  4. Suppose you reflect a point using the yy-axis as line of reflection. How would you describe its image?
