Question

The point V (5,1) is reflected over the y-axis. What are the coordinates of the resulting point, V’

Answer 1

V'(-5,1)

Explanation:

we know that

The rule of the reflection of a point across the y-axis is equal to

(x,y) ------> (-x,y)

so

Applying the rule of the reflection

V(5,1) ------> V'(-5,1)
