What happens to a point when it is reflected over the y-axis?

Answer
A
The coordinates stay the same.
B
The x-coordinate changes.
C
The y-coordinate changes.
D
Both coordinates change.

Explanation

Reflecting a point over the y-axis changes its x-coordinate to the opposite sign while keeping its y-coordinate the same: (x, y) becomes (−x, y). Therefore, the correct choice is “The x-coordinate changes.”
