Question

a point with a positive x-coordinate and a negative y- coordinate is reflected over the y-axis . what sentence will describe the coordinates of the new point ?

Answer 1

Answer:

The sentence that describes the reflected point (x,-y) over the y-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

Since not sure if specific options are available lets answer this question in a general notation.

Let us consider the Co-ordinate system in two dimensions (i.e.  and ); where the horizontal line represents the  values and the vertical line representes the  values.Now we are told that we have a point with a positive x-coordinate and a negative y-coordinate, thus:

This means our point is located at the 4th Quadrant (where  values are positive and  values are negative).

Reflecting it over the y-axis means that our point is now located on the 3rd Quadrant (where both  and  values are negative).

Therefore the new reflected point will now be:

''a point with a negative x-coordinate and a negative y-coordinate''
