• As the length of a call increases, the cost of the call remains the same.

• As the length of a call increases, the cost of the call decreases.

• There is no relationship between the length of a call and the cost of a call.

What axis is the triangle being reflected over?

• X-axis

Answer explanation

Think of your axis of reflection as a book spine: If you "turn the page" to move your figure from preimage to image, where would the page have been attached?

In this case, the y-axis.

Reflections over the x-axis change the ____-__________.

• y-coordinate

• x-coordinate

Answer explanation

If you compare the points in the visual example, you can see that the x-values are the same but the sign of the y-value was changed.

Therefore, reflecting over the x-axis changes the y-coordinate.
