Question

Reflect the point (4, —1) in (a) the x-axis and (b) the y-axis.

Answer 1

The rule for reflecting over the X axis is to negate the value of the y-coordinate of each point, but leave the x-value the same

(x=4 stay the same but -1 have to change to negative and if you see it’s already negative so a negative with a negative it’s positive so y=1)

X-axis is (4,1)

When you reflect a point across the y-axis, the y-coordinate remains the same, but the x-coordinate is transformed into its opposite (its sign is changed).

(So x=4 it’s transformed to the opposite sign x=-4 and the y=-1 reminds the same)

Y-axis is (-4,-1)

Hope this explanation helps you :D
