Find reflection along -axis.
Write the vertex matrix for is
.
To reflect the in the line -axis, multiply the vertex matrix by
.
Write the vertices of the image.
\ The first row represents the –coordinates and the second row represents the
–coordinates.
The vertices are and

b.
\Graph:
\Plot the points and

.
Plot the points and
and connect the points to form
.
Observe the graph:
\ and
are similar, both has same shape.
c.
\The points and
are reflections of the points
and
across
–axis.
is a reflection of
across the
–axis.
d.
\To reflect twice across –axis, multiply the vertex matrix by the reflection matrix twice.
The reflection matrix for reflection across –axis is
.
Multiply the reflection matrices are .
Multiplying a matrix by the identity matrix will give the same matrix.
\Thus, reflecting a triangle twice across the same line will produce the same matrix.
