Reflecting Points on a Coordinate Plane

Front

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

Back

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

Front

Reflect the point E (-2, 3) over the y-axis. What is the reflected point?

Back

E' (2, 3)

Front

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

Back

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

Front

Reflect the point A (3, 4) over the x-axis. What is the reflected point?

Back

A' (3, -4)

Front

Reflect the point D (5, -1) over the x-axis. What is the reflected point?

Back

D' (5, 1)

Front

When you reflect a point with negative coordinates over the x-axis, what happens to the coordinates?

Back

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

Front

Reflect the point (-6, -8) over the x-axis. What is the reflected point?

Back

(-6, 8)

Front

Reflect the point (8, 4) over the x-axis. What is the reflected point?

Back

(8, -4)

Front

If a point is reflected over the y-axis, what happens to its coordinates?

Back

The x-coordinate changes sign, and the y-coordinate remains unchanged.

Front

What is the reflected point of (0, 5) over the y-axis?

Back

(0, 5) - it remains the same because the x-coordinate is 0.
