Reflections (Y-Axis and X-Axis)

Front

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

Back

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

Front

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

Back

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

Front

If a point is located at (3, 4), what is its image after reflecting over the x-axis?

Back

(3, -4)

Front

If a point is located at (-5, 2), what is its image after reflecting over the y-axis?

Back

(5, 2)

Front

What is the line of symmetry for a reflection over the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis itself.

Front

What is the line of symmetry for a reflection over the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis itself.

Front

If a point remains unchanged after a reflection, where is it located?

Back

On the line of symmetry.

Front

Reflect the point (4, -3) over the x-axis. What is the image point?

Back

(4, 3)

Front

Reflect the point (-1, -5) over the y-axis. What is the image point?

Back

(1, -5)

Front

True or False: A reflection over the x-axis will change the x-coordinate of a point.

Back

False.
