Reflections

Question 6 • Q5 Geometry New 2022

Point P is located at (6, –5). P is reflected across the y-axis to create P'. What quadrant is P' in?

Answer
A
I
B
II
C
III
D
IV

Explanation

Reflecting a point across the y-axis changes the sign of its x-coordinate but keeps its y-coordinate the same. So P(6, −5) becomes P′(−6, −5). Both coordinates are negative, so P′ is in Quadrant III, choice C.
