Use graph paper for this question :
Use 1 cm = 1 unit on both the axes.
(i) Plot the points A(4, 5) and B(-1, -3)
(ii) A' is the image of A when reflected in the y-axis. Write down the co-ordinates of A' and plot it on the graph paper.
(iii) B' is the image of B when reflected in the x-axis followed by reflection in the origin. Write down the co-ordinates of B' and plot it on the graph paper.
(iv) Write down the geometrical name of the figure AA'BB'.
(v) Name two invariant points under reflection in y-axis.

Answer
Steps of construction :
Plot the points A(4, 5) and B(-1, -3) on graph.
Reflect the point A in y-axis and mark point A'.
Reflect the point B in x-axis and mark point B".
Reflect the point B" in origin and mark point B'.
Join AA'BB'.

From graph,
Co-ordinates of A' = (-4, 5) and co-ordinates of B' = (1, -3).
AA'BB' is an isosceles trapezium.
Points which are invariant on reflection in y-axis lies on y-axis.
Two points which are invariant under reflection in y-axis are F(0, 4) and G(0, 1).
