For reflection in the x-axis, change the sign of the y-coordinate of every point.For reflection in the y-axis, change the sign of the x-coordinate of every point.
A transformation is when a figure moves across the x or y axis on a grid.
You cannot: you need to know the axis or point of reflection.
change the y value to -y, and bring the negative over the equal sign. example. y=2x^2 reflected on the x-axis looks like y=(2x^2)/-1 which is equal to y=-(2x^2)
Replace x by -x.
reflect across the y-axis
When you reflect around the x-axis, the sign of every y-coordinate changes.If the point started out above the x-axis, it flips under ... positive 'y' becomes negative.If it started out under the x-axis, it flips above ... negative 'y' becomes positive.
For reflection in the x-axis, change the sign of the y-coordinate of every point.For reflection in the y-axis, change the sign of the x-coordinate of every point.
Since the x coordinate will change, but not the y coordinate, take (x,y) and reflect across the y axis and you have (-x,y)
Reflect the chart in the line y = x.
You change the value of y to -y. ex: (4,5) reflected over the x-axis is (4,-5)
The bit with the negative x-axis goes to the positive x-axis.
the price of goods on the x axis in terms of the good on the y axis
Replace each point with coordinates (x, y) by (-x, y).
It is the vertical Y-axis on the Cartesian plane
a grid in a rectangular shape with a x axis and a y axis.
To reflect a point in the x axis, multiply it's y coordinate by -1. Example: (x, y) over the x axis is now (x, -y), If you come across the y already being a negative, then make it a positive, (x, -y) = (x, y). The x stays the same, and vice versa over the y axis. Hope I helped. I am also having trouble with this, though, What if there is a zero? (5,0), it can't be (5, -0) can it?
