Question

If the coordinates of point a are (-2 3) what is the image of a under y-axis d3

Answer 1

Answer:

The coordinates of the image under the y-axis will be:

• a'(2, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the point

• (2,3)

We know that when we reflect a point across the y-axis, the y-coordinate remains the same, but the x-axis reverses its sign.

Thus,

Rule of reflection under y-axis:

P(x, y) → P'(-x, y)

Here, P'(x, y) is the image of the P(x, y)

Given that the point

• a(-2, 5)

Thus, the coordinates of the image under the y-axis will be:

(x, y) → (-x, y)

a(-2, 5) → a'(-(-2), 5) = a'(2, 5)

Therefore, the coordinates of the image under the y-axis will be:

• a'(2, 5)
