What is a reflection in geometry?

Back

A reflection is a transformation that flips a figure over a line, creating a mirror image.

What are the coordinates of a point after a reflection over the y-axis?

Back

If a point has coordinates (x, y), after reflection over the y-axis, the new coordinates will be (-x, y).

How do you translate a point in the coordinate plane?

Back

To translate a point, you add a specific value to the x-coordinate and a specific value to the y-coordinate. For example, translating (x, y) by (a, b) results in (x+a, y+b).
