Answer
(a) From graph,
Coordinates of A = (3, 3), B = (-2, 1), C = (3, -1) and D = (0, 1).

(b) From graph,
C is the image of point A in the line y = 1.
Hence, the line is BD and its equation is y = 1.
(c) Since, point D lies on y-axis, thus it is invariant under reflection in y-axis.
Hence, coordinates of point D on reflection in y-axis is (0, 1).
(d) A point whose image is the point itself is called invariant point.
(e) On joining the points A, B, C, D and A in order the figure formed is a concave quadrilateral or arrowhead.
