reflections in the coordinate plane

Front

What happens to the coordinates of a point when it is reflected over the y-axis?

Back

The x-coordinate changes sign, while the y-coordinate remains the same.

Front

Reflect the point (4, 5) over the y-axis. What is the coordinate of its image?

Back

(-4, 5)
