Question

Translate (3,2) to the left one unit. Then reflect the result over the y-axis. What are the coordinates of the final point?

Answer 1

Answer:

(-2, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Take point (3, 2) and first translate it left one unit.  Now the point is (2, 2)

Now reflect it over the y-axis.  Doing so keeps the y value the same, we have a vertical line of reflection, so we are only changing the distance to the y-axis, which is the x-value.  

Our x value is 2 units away from the y axis, so its reflection will be 2 units away on the other side of the axis.  

The new x value is -2, so the point is (-2, 2)
