reflections in the coordinate plane

Front

What is a reflection in the coordinate plane?

Back

A reflection in the coordinate plane is a transformation that flips a point or shape over a specified line, creating a mirror image.

Front

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

Back

When a point (x, y) is reflected over the y-axis, its coordinates change to (-x, y).

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

Back

When a point (x, y) is reflected over the x-axis, its coordinates change to (x, -y).

Front

What is the reflection of the point (0, 0) over any axis?

Back

(0, 0) - The origin remains unchanged.
