Question
The triangle ABC, where A is (2, 6), B is (–3, 5) and C is (4, 7), is reflected in the y-axis to triangle A'B'C'. Triangle A'B'C' is then reflected in the origin to triangle A"B"C".
- Write down the co-ordinates of A", B" and C".
- Write down a single transformation that maps triangle ABC onto triangle A"B"C".

Solution
i. Reflection in y-axis is given by My (x, y) = (–x, y)
∴ A’ = Reflection of A(2, 6) in y-axis = (–2, 6)
Similarly, B’ = (3, 5) and C’ = (–4, 7)
Reflection in origin is given by MO (x, y) = (–x, –y)
∴ A” = Reflection of A’(–2, 6) in origin = (2, –6)
Similarly, B” = (–3, –5) and C” = (4, –7)
ii. A single transformation which maps triangle ABC to triangle A”B”C” is reflection in x-axis.
