Question

Point A is located at (-5, 2) and is reflected in the y-axis. What are the coordinates of point A'?

A.(-5, -2)
B.(5, 2)
C.(5, -2)

Answer 1

When a point is reflected across the Y axis, the Y coordinate remains the same and the X coordinate becomes the opposite of the original value.

Points are written as ( X,Y)

The original point is (-5,2)

The opposite x value would be 5 and the Y value stays the same.

The reflected point would be (5,2)

The answer is B.
