Question 1183444: The vertices of Triangle DEF are D=(-4,4), E=(0,4), and F=(6,6). Use Matrix multiplication to reflect Triangle DEF across the x-axis. Draw the pre-image and image in a coordinate plane.

Convert each of the ordered pairs to a single column matrix:



Then multiply the reflection across the -axis transformation matrix:



For example, for point D: (-4,4):




Hence D': (-4,-4)

You can do the other two yourself.
