Answers : Points (−6, 3) and (−6, −3) on the coordinate grid below show the positions of two dogs at a park:

A coordinate plane is shown. There is a point at negative 6, 3 labeled Dog 1. There is a point at negative 6, negative 3 labeled Dog 2.

Answer 1

Question:

Points (−6, 3) and (−6, −3) on the coordinate grid below show the positions of two dogs at a park.There is a point at (−6, 3) labeled Dog 1. There is a point at (−6, −3) labeled Dog 2.

Which statement best describes the relationship between the positions of the two players?

A.Dog 1's position is Dog 2's position reflected across the y-axis; only the signs of the y-coordinates of Dog 1 and Dog 2 are different.

B.Dog 1's position is Dog 2's position reflected across the x-axis; only the signs of the y-coordinates of Dog 1 and Dog 2 are different.

C.Dog 1's position is Dog 2's position reflected across the x-axis; only the signs of the x-coordinates of Dog 1 and Dog 2 are different.

D. Dog 1's position is Dog 2's position reflected across the y-axis; only the signs of the x-coordinates of Dog 1 and Dog 2 are different.

Answer:

Option B: Dog 1's position is Dog 2's position reflected across the x-axis; only the signs of the y-coordinates of Dog 1 and Dog 2 are different.

Explanation:

The position of the Dog 1 is (−6, 3).

The position of the Dog 2 is (−6, -3).

From the graph, we can see that the image of Dog 1 is reflected over x-axis. Because to reflect an image over x-axis, the signs of y-coordinate must be changed.

Hence, Option B is correct.

Thus, Dog 1's position is Dog 2's position reflected across the x-axis; only the signs of the y-coordinates of Dog 1 and Dog 2 are different.
