Reflecting Points on the Coordinate Plane

Front

What is the result of reflecting a point over the y-axis?

Back

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

Front

Reflect the point C (-1, -4) over the y-axis.

Back

C' (1, -4)

Front

Reflect the point A (3, 4) over the y-axis.

Back

A' (-3, 4)

Front

Reflect the point D (5, -1) over the y-axis.

Back

D' (-5, -1)

Front

Reflect the point E (-2, 3) over the y-axis.

Back

E' (2, 3)

Front

What is the result of reflecting a point over the x-axis?

Back

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

Front

Reflect the point D (5, -1) over the x-axis.

Front

If a point is located in Quadrant I, where will it be after reflecting over the y-axis?

Back

It will be in Quadrant II.

Front

If a point is located in Quadrant II, where will it be after reflecting over the x-axis?

Back

It will be in Quadrant IV.

Front

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

Back

The coordinates become (-x, y).
