Reflecting a Point Over the X and Y Axis

If the coordinates (4,-4) are reflecting over the y-axis, what would be the ordered pair for the reflected point?

• (-4,-4)

• (-4,4)

• (4,4)

• (4,-4)

When you reflect a point over the x-axis, the _________ changes.

• x-coordinate

• y-coordinate

Reflect (-8, -1) over the y-axis.

Think: What will change? the X or the Y?

• (8, -1)

• (8, 1)

• (-8, 1)

Reflect (-12, 13) over the y-axis.

Think: What will change? the X or the Y?

• (-12, 13)

• (12, -13)

• (12, 13)

What is the reflection of F (3, 4) over the x-axis?

• F (-3, -4)

• D' (3, -4)

• D (-3, 4)

• D (4, 3)

What is the reflection of D (4, 3) over both axes?

• D' (3, 4)

• D' (-3, -4)

• D' (-4, -3)

• D' (4, -3)

If the coordinates (4,-4) are reflecting over both axes, what would be the ordered pair for the reflected point?

• (-4,4)

• (-4,-4)

• (4,4)

• (4,-4)

Reflect (-2, -6) over both axes.

Think what will change, the X, Y, or both.

• (2, 6)

• (-2, 6)

• (2, -6)

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

• y-coordinate

• x-coordinate

• y-axis

• x-axis 

G is plotted at (3, -2) and is reflected across the y-axis. Which ordered pair below shows this reflection?

*Use the coordinate plane to help you.

• (3, 2)

• (-3, -2)

• (2, 3)

• (-2, 3)
