What's on the worksheet

  1. Write the image of each point after the reflection or move named.
    (7, −3) across the horizontal axis(−2, −9) across the vertical axis(6, 4.5) through the origin\left(-\dfrac{2}{3}, -5\right) across the horizontal axis(−10, 0) through the origin
  2. Find the original point from each image.
    (−4, 8) is the image across the vertical axis(3, −0.5) is the image across the horizontal axis(−1, 11) is the image through the origin(2.5, 0) is the image across the horizontal axis
  3. Choose which points are images of (-4, 6) and name each move.
  4. Find Ryan's mistake reflecting (-3, 5) across the horizontal axis.
  5. Word problem: find missing holes for a mask symmetric about the vertical axis.
  6. Follow Mei's three reflections starting at (5, -2).
  7. Write coordinates of eight points on a grid and find pairs related by reflection.
  8. Word problem: plan a rangoli pattern symmetric about both axes.
