Max is trying to prove to his friend that two reflections, one across the x-axis and another across the y-axis, will not result in a reflection across the line y = x for a pre-image in quadrant II. His friend Josiah is trying to prove that a reflection across the x-axis followed by a reflection across the y-axis will result in a reflection across the line y = x for a pre-image in quadrant II. Which student is correct, and which statements below will help him prove his conjecture? Select the three correct answers. Max is correct.
Josiah is correct.
Taking the result from the first reflection (x, –y) and applying the second mapping rule will result in (–x, –y), not (y, x), which reflecting across the line y = x should give.
If one reflects a figure first across the x-axis from quadrant II then reflects across the y-axis from quadrant III, the image will end up in quadrant IV.
A figure that is reflected from quadrant II to quadrant IV across the line y = x will have the coordinates of (-y, x)
