Activity 5 Coordinate Geometry

This document provides instructions for obtaining the mirror image of a geometric figure with respect to the x-axis and y-axis. Students are asked to plot points from a given figure on graph paper, then plot the mirror images of those points across the x-axis and y-axis to create reflected versions of the original figure. Observations note that the y-coordinate remains the same for images reflected across the x-axis, and the x-coordinate remains the same for images reflected across the y-axis. The activity aims to practice coordinate plotting skills and develop an understanding of reflection symmetry.

Activity-4-Coordinate Geometry

Objective :To obtain the mirror image of a given geometrical figure with respect to the
x–axis and the y–axis.

Pre–requisite knowledge: Plotting of points on the graph paper, idea of mirror image
points about a given line.

Material Required: Graph paper, pencil and ruler.

Procedure

1. Write the co–ordinates of the labeled points (A, B, C, D...) in the given figure.
2. Plot the mirror images of the points (A, B, C, D...) with respect to the x–axis and
label the co–ordinates obtained.
3. Join the co–ordinates obtained in step 2 in order to get the mirror image of the
given figure with respect to the x–axis.
4. Repeat the process to get the mirror image of the given figure with respect to the
y–axis.
Observations

1. When the mirror image of a figure is obtained with respect to the y–axis, the y–
coordinate remains the same.
2. When the mirror image of a figure is obtained with respect to the x–axis, the x–
coordinate remains the same.

Learning Outcomes

1. To practice of plotting points with given co–ordinates.


2. To develop a geometrical intuition for reflection symmetry.
3. T0 get an idea of developing symmetrical designs.
