Question
On a graph paper, plot the triangle ABC, whose vertices are at the points A (3, 1), B (5, 0) and C (7, 4).
On the same diagram, draw the image of the triangle ABC under reflection in the origin O (0, 0).
Solution
The graph shows triangle ABC and triangle A’B’C’ which is obtained when ABC is reflected in the origin
