Reflecting Shapes

Which of the following lines is the line of reflection for the shape reflected across the x-axis?

When reflecting a shape over the x-axis, what happens to the sign of the y-coordinate?

• The sign of the y-coordinate changes.

• The sign of the x-coordinate changes.

• The shape rotates 90 degrees.

• The shape becomes larger.

How does the x-coordinate change when reflecting a point over the y-axis?

• The x-coordinate doubles.

• The x-coordinate remains the same.

• The x-coordinate becomes negative.

What are the new coordinates of the point (5, -2) after reflecting over the y-axis?

• (-5, -2)

• (-2, 5)

• (5, 2)

• (-5, 2)

If a point is reflected over the y-axis, how does the x-coordinate change?

After reflecting a point over the x-axis, what happens to the sign of the y-coordinate?

• The sign of the y-coordinate changes.

• The point remains unchanged.

• The point moves closer to the origin.
