Reflections on the Coordinate Plane

Front

What is the reflection of a point R (-1, 6) over the y-axis?

Back

R'(1, 6)

Front

What type of reflection occurs when a point is mirrored across the y-axis?

Back

Reflection over the y-axis.

Front

If point A is located at (-6, -1), what is its reflection across the x-axis?

Back

A'(-6, 1)

Front

What type of reflection occurs when a point is mirrored across the x-axis?

Back

Reflection over the x-axis.

Front

When reflecting a point over the y-axis, which coordinate changes?

Back

The x-coordinate changes.

Front

What is the general rule for reflecting a point (x, y) over the y-axis?

Back

The reflected point is (-x, y).

Front

What is the general rule for reflecting a point (x, y) over the x-axis?

Back

The reflected point is (x, -y).

Front

If point B is at (3, 4), what is the reflection of B over the x-axis?

Back

B'(3, -4)

Front

How does reflecting a point over the y-axis affect its position on the coordinate plane?

Back

It mirrors the point across the y-axis, changing its x-coordinate sign.

Front

What happens to the coordinates of a point when it is reflected over the x-axis?

Back

The y-coordinate changes sign, while the x-coordinate remains the same.
