Question
The given problem involves a triangle \( \Delta MNP \) and asks for its reflection and an explanation regarding its area. The triangle has vertices at \( M(-10, -2) \), \( N(-6, -9) \), and \( P(1, -5) \). Additionally, a line \( y = \frac{2}{3}x \) is given.

**Problem Breakdown:**

**(a)** Draw the image of \( \Delta MNP \) after a reflection in \( y = \frac{2}{3} x \). Give the coordinates of the transformed vertices below.

1. **Original Triangle \( \Delta MNP \)**:
   - Vertex \( M \) at \( (-10, -2) \)
   - Vertex \( N \) at \( (-6, -9) \)
   - Vertex \( P \) at \( (1, -5) \)

2. **Reflection Line**: \( y = \frac{2}{3}x \)

3. **Reflection Procedure**:
   - To find the reflected coordinates of a point across the line \( y = \frac{2}{3}x \), one needs to use a formula or perform a geometric transformation on each point such that the points' positions are swapped symmetrically across the line.

**Coordinates of the Reflected Vertices:**

**Using Hypothetical Reflection Technique (not calculated here):**
   - Reflected Vertex \( M' \)
   - Reflected Vertex \( N' \)
   - Reflected Vertex \( P' \)

(Exact calculations for these points require geometric manipulation techniques which can be derived using tools like matrix transformations or software that can visualize reflections).

**(b)** Explain why \( \Delta M'N'P' \) must have the same area as \( \Delta MNP \).

- Reflection is a type of isometry. An isometry is any transformation that preserves distances and angles.
- Since area is a measurement dependent on distances (base and height), an isometric transformation such as reflection will keep the area of the original figure unchanged.
- Therefore, \( \Delta M'N'P' \), being the reflected image of \( \Delta MNP \), will maintain the same area as \( \Delta MNP \).

**Graph Explanation:**
- The graph is a standard Cartesian coordinate system with the x-axis and y-axis labeled.
- The line \( y =
