Reflection

Q.1 Point P(a, b) is reflected in the y-axis to P′(3, – 2). Write down the values of a and b.
Options:
(a) a = – 5, b = 2
(b) a = – 3, b = – 2
(c) a = 5, b = – 2
(d) a = 2, b = 5
Ans. (b)
Explanation:

Co- ordinates of P(– 3, –2).


∴ a = – 3, b = –2.

Q.2 A point P (-2 , 3) is reflected in the line x = 2, the coordinates of the point of reflection P’
are:
Options:
(a) (2, 3)
(b) (4, 3)
(c) (6, 3)
(d) (8, 3)

Q.3 The triangle A(1, 2), B(4, 4) and C(3, 7) is first reflected in the line y = 0 onto triangle
A´B´C´ and then triangle A´B´C´ is reflected in the origin onto triangle A´´B´´C´´. Write
down the coordinates of :
(i) A´, B´, C´,
(ii) A´´, B´´, C´´.

Explanation:
(i) A´ → (1, – 2),
B´ → (4, – 4),
C´ → (3, – 7).

(ii) A´´ → (– 1, 2),


B´´ → (– 4, 4),
C´´ → (– 3, 7).

Q.5 The triangle A (1, 2), B (4, 4) and C (3, 7) is first reflected in line y = 0 onto triangle
A′B′C′ and then triangle A′B′C′ is reflected in the origin onto triangle A′′B′′C′′.
Write down the coordinates of (i) A′, B′, C′, (ii) A′′, B′′, C′′, (iii) Assign the special name to
the quadrilateral BCC′′B′′ and find its area.
Explanation:
Given, vertices of triangles are A(1,2), B (4,4), C (3,7).
(a) Coordinates A(1,2), B (4,4), C (3,7).
(b) Coordinates A”=(- 1,2), B”= (-4,4), C”= (3,7).
(c) BCC”B” is a trapezium
