Use graph paper for this question. Take 1 cm = 1 unit on both axes. Plot the points A(3, 0) and B(0, 4). (i) Write down the co-ordinates of A1, the reflection of A in the y-axis. (ii) Write down the co-ordinates of B1, the reflection of B in the x-axis. (iii) Assign the special name to the quadrilateral ABA1B1. (iv) If C is the midpoint is AB. Write down the co-ordinates of the point C1, the reflection of C in the origin. (v) Assign the special name to quadrilateral ABC1B1.

An Important Question of class 10 Based on Section Formula Chapter of M.L Aggarwal for ICSE BOARD.
Here you have point some co-ordinates on the graph as required in question So solve this question.
This is the Question Number 08, Exercise 11 of M.L Aggarwal.

  1. ML Aggarwal Sol Class 10 Maths chapter 11-4

    (i) Co-ordinates of point A are (3,0).

    When you reflect a point across the Y-axis, the y-coordinate remains the same,

    but the x-coordinate is transformed into its opposite (its sign is changed)

    Hence the reflection of A in the Y axis is (-3,0).

    (ii) Co-ordinates of point B are (0,4).

    When you reflect a point across the X-axis, the x-coordinate remains the same,

    but the y-coordinate is transformed into its opposite (its sign is changed).

    Hence the reflection of B in the X-axis is (0,-4)

    (iii) The quadrilateral ABA1B1 will be a rhombus.

    (iv) Let C be midpoint of AB.

    Co-ordinate of C = ((3+0)/2 , (0+4)/2) = (3/2, 2) [Midpoint formula]

    In a point reflection in the origin, the image of the point (x,y) is the point (-x,-y).

    Hence the reflection of C in the origin is (-3/2, -2)

    (v) In quadrilateral ABC1B1, ABB1C1

    Hence the quadrilateral ABC1B1 is a trapezium.
