Question

The coordinates of a point on a coordinate grid are (−2, 6). The point is reflected across the x-axis to obtain a new point. The coordinates of the reflected point are

Answer 1

So when you reflect the x-axis, you change the y negative. So (x,y) would be (x,-y). so it would be (-2, -6). If you want to reflect over the y-axis, it would be   (-x, y).
