3) this is a writer's opinion or way of seeing an issue.

Step-by-step explanation:

Viewpoint refers to a particular and individual way to see the world. It's the personal perspective in a specific context, it's people's point of view. For example, in a situation like an accident between a motorcycle and a bus, some people would say that the fault is no the bus drives, other would say that it's on the motorcycle driver, but at the end, those just are different viewpoint.

In this case, a writer's opinion or way of seeing an issue, it's referring to a point of view, or viewpoint, because involves an individual opinion about something.

i would need to see the dot plot : )

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
