Reflecting Shapes over the X and Y Axes using Coordinates

This video tutorial teaches how to graph an image after a reflection using coordinates. It reviews the properties of reflections, the quadrants of the coordinate plane, and demonstrates reflections over the x-axis and y-axis with examples. The tutorial concludes by summarizing the key points of graphing reflections.

What happens to the orientation and position of a figure after a reflection?

• Orientation and position stay the same

• Size and shape stay the same, orientation and position change

• Size changes, shape stays the same

• Orientation changes, position stays the same

In which quadrant will a point originally in quadrant one end up after a reflection over the x-axis?

• Quadrant one

• Quadrant four

• Quadrant two

• Quadrant three

If a point is in quadrant two, where will it be after reflecting over the x-axis?

• Quadrant four

• Quadrant three

• Quadrant two

• Quadrant one

What happens to the x and y values of a point in quadrant one after reflecting over the y-axis?

• Both x and y stay positive

• Both x and y become negative

• x stays positive, y becomes negative

• x becomes negative, y stays positive

After reflecting a point from quadrant two over the y-axis, what will be the sign of its coordinates?

• x will be positive, y will be negative

• Both coordinates will be positive

• x will be negative, y will be positive

• Both coordinates will be negative
