Reflecting Points on a Coordinate Plane

This lesson teaches how to predict the reflection of a point on a coordinate plane by changing one or more values in an ordered pair. It covers the concept of quadrants, their unique positioning system (UPS), and how to reflect points across the y-axis and x-axis. Examples are provided to illustrate the reflection process, and tips are given for predicting the location of reflected points using the UPS of each quadrant.

What is the unique positioning system (UPS) of quadrant I?

How do you reflect a point from quadrant I to quadrant II?

What happens to the x and y values when reflecting a point across the y-axis?

What is the result of reflecting the point -2, 4 to quadrant III?

Explain how to predict the location of a reflected point using the UPS.
