Reflections

Question 12 • FL-1205070-M/J Grade 8 Pre-Algebra B

Explain how you would find the coordinates of the image of (5, 2) if it was reflected over the x-axis and then that image was reflected over the y-axis. What would be the end result?

Answer

Answer:

To reflect the point (5, 2) over the x-axis, you negate the y-coordinate, which results in the point (5, -2). Next, to reflect that point over the y-axis, you negate the x-coordinate. This results in the final image coordinates of (-5, -2).
