Symmetry

Question 3 • CA-Common Core Geometry DVHS Sem. 1

A quadrilateral with vertices (2, 6) and (–1, 2) has point symmetry about the origin. What are the other vertices of the quadrilateral?

Answer
A
(6, 2) and ( 2, –1)
B
(–2, 6) and (1, 2)
C
(–2, –6) and (1, –2)
D
(2, 6) and (–1, 2)

Explanation

Point symmetry about the origin sends each point (x, y) to (−x, −y). Thus (2, 6) maps to (−2, −6), and (−1, 2) maps to (1, −2), so the other vertices are (−2, −6) and (1, −2), choice C.
