The diagram shows triangle A draw on a grid. y y 5 5 4 4 3 3 2 2 1 1 x x O O −5 −4 −3 −2 −1 1 2 3 4 5 −5 −4 −3 −2 −1 1 2 3 4 5 −1 −1 −2 −2 A A −3 −3 −4 −4 −5 −5
Sue reflects triangle A in the x-axis to get triangle B.
She then reflects triangle B in the line y = x to get triangle C.
Pat reflects triangle A in the line y = x to get triangle D.
He is then going to reflect triangle D in the x-axis to get triangle E.
Pat says that triangle E should be in the same position as triangle C.
Is Pat correct?
