Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let the bench be B and the flagpole be T.

So:

[tex]B = (0,10)[/tex] --- given

The flagpole is represented by the triangular shape labelled T.

So, we have:

[tex]T = (6,9)[/tex]

See attachment for the rectangular bench and the flagpole

From the attached image, the location of the other bench is:

[tex]B' = (0,-10)[/tex]

And the location of the other flagpole is:

[tex]T' = (-6,9)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]B = (0,10)[/tex] ==> [tex]B' = (0,-10)[/tex]

[tex]T = (6,9)[/tex] ==> [tex]T' = (-6,9)[/tex]

When a point is reflected from [tex](x,y)[/tex] to [tex](x,-y)[/tex], the transformation rule is reflection across x-axis.

So the rigid transformation that takes [tex]B = (0,10)[/tex] to [tex]B' = (0,-10)[/tex] is: reflection across x-axis.

When a point is reflected from [tex](x,y)[/tex] to [tex](-x,y)[/tex], the transformation rule is reflection across y-axis.

So the rigid transformation that takes [tex]T = (6,9)[/tex] to [tex]T' = (-6,9)[/tex] is: reflection across y-axis.
