4) Reflect triangle ABC over the line l and then reflect the result over the y-axis. Where do A, B, and C go under the two reflections? Give the coordinates for each one.

- The original triangle points are:
A = (2,2), B = (7,5) and C = (4,1)
-
The reflected image of a point (x,y) across the line y = x is achieved by switching the x and y values:
Reflection of (x,y) around y=x = (y,x), so:
Reflected A,B,C = (2,2), (5,7) and (1,4)
- A reflection of a point (x,y) over the y-axis is (-x,y), so
Reflected A,B,C around the y-axis =
A = (-2,2), B = (-5,7) and C = (-1,4)
