Coordinate Geometry A figure that has a vertex at (3, 4) has the given line of symmetry. Tell the coordinates of another vertex of the figure.

  1. the y-axis
  2. the x-axis
  3. the line y equals x

C Challenge

Coordinate Geometry Graph each equation and describe its symmetry.

  1. y equals , x squared
  2. y equals . open x plus . 2 , close squared
  3. y equals , x cubed
  4. y equals vertical line x vertical line
  5. x squared , plus , y squared , equals 9

For each three-dimensional figure, draw a net that has point symmetry and a net that has 1, 2, or 4 lines of symmetry.
