Reflections — Quiz

Question 1 • Mathematics I

A line segment has endpoints at open paren negative 4 comma negative 6 close paren and open paren negative 6 comma 4 close paren Which reflection will produce an image with endpoints at open paren 4 comma negative 6 close paren and open paren 6 comma 4 close paren ?

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

Explanation

A reflection across the y-axis changes each point x-coordinate to its opposite while keeping the y-coordinate the same: (x, y) → (−x, y). Thus (−4, −6) becomes (4, −6), and (−6, 4) becomes (6, 4), matching the image endpoints. The correct choice is a reflection across the y-axis.
