Reflection Over a Diagonal

What is the rule for a reflection across the y = --x line? Remember this is a negative diagonal line through the origin.

• (x, y) becomes (x, -y)

• (x, y) becomes (-x, y)

• (x, y) becomes (-y, -x)

• (x, y) becomes (y, x)

What is the rule for a reflection across the y = x line?

• (x, y) becomes (x, -y)

• (x, y) becomes (-x, y)

• (x, y) becomes (-x, -y)

• (x, y) becomes (y, x)

What is a reflection?

• When you turn an object around a point.

• When you flip or mirror an object across a line.

• When you slide an object from one place to another.

• When you resize an object.
