Question

Point P(2, 3) is reflected across the y-axis to create point P'. Determine the quadrant of the image.

Answer 1

The reflection of P(2, 3) across the y-axis has the coordinate P'(-2,3)

& it is located in the 2nd quadrant

Answer 2

2nd quadrant.

Explanation:

The given point is P(2,3). This is in 1st quadrant.

Now, this point is reflected across the y-axis.

When we reflect this point p about the y-axis then the y -coordinate remains same but the x- coordinate will be the negative of previous one.

Therefore, the coordinate of the point after reflection is P'(-2,3)

Here x coordinate is negative and y coordinate is positive.

Hence, the point P'(-2,3) is in 2nd quadrant.
