What does reflecting a point over the x-axis involve?

• Scaling the point away from the x-axis

• Rotating the point around the x-axis

After reflecting point A over the x-axis, if it originally was 8 units above, where will it be located?

• 16 units below the x-axis

• 8 units above the x-axis

• 8 units below the x-axis

What is the significance of the y-axis in reflections?

• It is used as a line of symmetry for horizontal reflections

• It determines the color change in reflections

• It is ignored in geometric reflections

• It is used to measure the size of the figure

If a point is 7 units from the y-axis, how far must it be placed on the other side during a reflection?

• 7 units on the same side

• Remains at the same position

• 7 units on the opposite side

• 14 units on the opposite side

How can students ensure their transformations are correct?

• By estimating the movement

• By guessing the final position

• By using a ruler to measure distance

• By counting units carefully
