Reflecting about y = x

Move A, B, and C around so that the plane DOES NOT DISAPPEAR and so that each of these points has both x and y coordinates equal to each other. (This will cause the plane to have equation y = x).

Drag O (preimage) to different positions. Record the coordinates of O in the PREIMAGE column. Record coordinates of its reflection in the plane in the IMAGE column.

What do you notice? Describe.

Suppose point O = (a, b, c). What would its image O' be if O was reflected about the plane y = x?
