Question

Point W is located at (-2,3) on a coordinate plane. Point W is reflected over the x-axis to create point w'. Point W' is then reflected over the y-axis to create point W". What ordered pair describes the point location of point W"?

Answer 1

ANSWER

$W''(2, - 3)$

EXPLANATION

The given point bas coordinates

W(-2,3).

The mapping for reflection over the x-axis is

$(x,y)\to(x, - y)$

$W(-2,3)\to \: W'(-2, - 3)$

This point W'(-2,-3) is then reflected over the y-axis.

The mapping for reflection over the y-axis is

$(x,y)\to (-x, y)$

$W'(-2,-3)\to \: W''(2, - 3)$
