Question

Im working on reflections and I am confused on what the reflection of A would be? I'm trying to find the reflection of (0,5) over the Yaxis? The rule is this: (x,y)->(-x,y) but there is no such thing as -0......so... yea thats why im confused? Or is the reflection unchanging? is A'=0,5?

Answer 1

Any points that lie on the line of reflection (the mirroring line) will not move. So point A = (0,5) will become A' = (0,5) staying in the same location. Anything on the y axis will stay where it is.
