Reflections on the Coordinate Plane

Front

What happens to the y-coordinate when a point is reflected over the x-axis?

Back

The y-coordinate changes its sign.

Front

What is the result of reflecting a point over the x-axis?

Back

The point's y-coordinate is negated.

Front

What is the reflection of the point (x, y) over the x-axis?

Back

(x, -y)

Front

What is the reflection of the point (x, y) over the y-axis?

Back

(-x, y)

Front

If a point is reflected over both the x-axis and the y-axis, what is the result?

Back

The point's coordinates change to (-x, -y).

Front

What is the reflection of the point R (-1, 6) over the y-axis?

Back

R' (1, 6)

Front

What is the reflection of the point D (4, 3) over the y-axis?

Back

D' (-4, 3)

Front

If the point (-3, 1) is reflected across the x-axis, what are the new coordinates?

Back

(-3, -1)

Front

If the point (-3, 1) is reflected across both the x-axis and the y-axis, what are the new coordinates?

Back

(3, -1)

Front

What does a reflection over the x-axis indicate about the point's position?

Back

It indicates that the point is mirrored across the x-axis.
