reflection in the y- axis and (iii) reflection in the origin.

2. 2. A point P (3, - 2) is reflected in the origin as P`. Point Q (- 7, 1) is reflected in the x- axis as
Q`. Write down the co-ordinates of P` and Q` calculate the distance P`Q`.

3. The image of a point P under reflection in the x- axis is (- 3, 2). Write down the co-ordinates of
P. l l l

4. A triangle ABC where A (- 2, 3), B (4, - 4) C (6, - 7) is reflected in the x- axis onto triangle A’ B ‘C’
and then triangle A ‘B’ C ‘is reflected in the origin onto A” B “C” . Write down the co-ordinates of
