1.
Reflect the figure ABCDE in the x-axis. State the coordinates of each vertex for pentagon ABCDE and its image, A'B'C'D'E'.







The line of reflection is the x-axis.
The coordinates of pentagon ABCDE are A(–6, –3), B(–4, –1), C(–1, –2), D(–2, –4), E(–3, –2).
The coordinates of image A'B'C'D'E' are A'(–6, 3), B'(–4, 1), C'(–1, 2), D'(–2, 4), E'(–3, 2).
2.
Reflect the figure FGHIJK in the y-axis. State the coordinates of each vertex for the hexagon, FGHIJK, and its image, F'G'H'I'J'K'.







The line of reflection is the y-axis.
The coordinates of hexagon FGHIJK are F(–8, –3), G(–3, –2), H(–2, –3), I(–4, –6), J(–7, –5), K(–6, –4).
The coordinates of image F'G'H'I'J'K' are F'(8, –3), G'(3, –2), H'(2, –3), I'(4, –6), J'(7, –5), K'(6, –4).
