Question 6 • Geometry: Concepts and Connections

A point has the coordinates (m, 0) and m≠0. Which reflection of the point will produce an image located at open paren 0 comma negative m close paren ?

Answer
A
a reflection of the point across the x -axis
B
a reflection of the point across the line y is equal to x
C
a reflection of the point across the line y is equal to negative x
D
a reflection of the point across the y -axis

Explanation

Reflecting a point across the line y = −x changes its coordinates according to (x, y) → (−y, −x). Applying this to (m, 0) gives (0, −m), the desired image. So the correct choice is a reflection across the line y = −x.
