Question

The coordinates of point P on a coordinate grid are (−5, −6). Point P is reflected across the y-axis to obtain point Q and across the x-axis to obtain point R. What are the coordinates of points Q and R?

Answer 1

Reflection of point (x ,y) about x axis is given by (x,-y) and about y axis is given by (-x,y) .treat the line as plane mirror about which you have to find out point reflection .thus Q is (5 ,-6) and R is(-5,6)..
