Exploring Reflections Over Horizontal and Vertical Lines

The video tutorial explains how to perform reflections on a coordinate grid when the line of reflection is not an axis. It covers graphing horizontal and vertical lines, specifically y = -5 and x = 2, and demonstrates how to reflect points over these lines. The tutorial emphasizes labeling new points with primes and provides tips for accurately connecting points to form shapes.

What is the line of reflection if it is not the x-axis or y-axis?

• x = 2

• y = -5

• x = 0

• y = 0

How do you graph the line y = -5?

• By plotting points where y = -5

• By plotting points where x = 5

• By plotting points where x = -5

• By plotting points where y = 5

What is the y-coordinate of all points on the line y = -5?

• 0

• 5

• 1

• -5

How do you reflect a point over the line y = -5?

• By moving it horizontally

• By moving it vertically

• By rotating it

What is the new label for a point after reflection?

• B

• B'

• A'

• A

How do you graph the line x = 2?

• By plotting points where y = -2
