Question

Which of these points does not change its location when it is reflected across the y-axis? A (2, 0) b (0, 6) c (3, 3) d (5, 5)

Answer 1

B because it has the point 0 which can not be negative when reflected across the y axis like 2, 3, and 5 can.

Answer 2

Answer:

B. (0,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, you'll need to figure out what the final point is after reflecting each point. A quick way to figure this out is by multiplying (-1) to the x-coordinate.

When you reflect A. (2,0) over the y-axis, the point becomes (-2,0).

When you reflect C. (3,3) over the y-axis, the point becomes (-3,3).

When you reflect D. (5,5) over the y-axis, the point becomes (-5,5).

The only answer that does not change location is B. (0,6) as it stays at (0,6). If you multiply 0 by any number, it will always stay 0.

Multiplying the x-coordinate by (-1) to find the reflection point only works if you are reflecting it over the y-axis. You would multiple the y-coordinate by (-1) if you were reflecting over the x-axis.
