Exploring Rational Expressions: Addition and Subtraction

The video tutorial explains how to reflect a geometric figure over the y-axis using coordinates. It begins by identifying the original coordinates of the figure, then explains how to reflect the y-coordinates, which remain unchanged, and the x-coordinates, which change signs. Finally, it demonstrates plotting the new coordinates to form the reflected image.

What is the first step in reflecting a figure over the y-axis?

• Drawing the new figure

• Identifying the figure to reflect

• Selecting the coordinates to reflect

• Calculating the new y-coordinates
