Question

What is the image of (2,3)(2,3) after a reflection over the line y=-xy=−x?

Answer 1

Answer:

After the reflection over the line  y = -x, the image of the point is: (-3,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

When a given point is reflected over a line the point only changes place but the distance between the point and the line remains same.

Let (x,y) be a point on the plane

and

y = -x be a line on the plane

When a point is reflected over a line y = -x , the coordinates of the point are exchanged which means x becomes y and y becomes x and both are negated

So (x,y) will become (-y,-x)

Given point is:

(2,3)

After the reflection over the line  y = -x, the image of the point is: (-3,-2)
