For a reflection over the x axis, leave the x coordinate unchanged and change the sign of the y coordinate.For a reflection over the y axis, leave the y coordinate unchanged and change the sign of the x coordinate.
It is the axis of reflection.
Reflection in the y-axis.
They are (-a, b).
Reflections are congruence transformations where the figure is reflected over the x-axis, y-axis, or over a line.
Reflection over a point is equivalent to enlargement with the same point as the focus of enlargement and a scale factor of -1.
Example: if you have a point with the coordinates (2,4), a reflection over the y-axis will result in the point with coordinates (-2,4).
It will be where it was, to start with.
To determine the coordinates of a point after a reflection in the y-axis, you simply negate the x-coordinate while keeping the y-coordinate the same. For a point with coordinates ((x, y)), its reflection across the y-axis will be at ((-x, y)). This transformation effectively flips the point over the y-axis, maintaining its vertical position but reversing its horizontal position.
If the coordinates of a point, before reflection, were (p, q) then after reflection, they will be (-p, q).
When a point is reflected over the y-axis, the x-coordinate changes its sign while the y-coordinate remains the same. For example, if a point has the coordinates (x, y), after reflection over the y-axis, its new coordinates will be (-x, y). This transformation effectively mirrors the point across the y-axis.
Yes. Suppose the point is P = (x, y). Its reflection, in the x-axis is Q = (x, -y) and then |PQ| = 2y.
Yes, it will.
If a point is reflected about the y-axis then the y co-ordinate remains unchanged but the x co-ordinate changes its sign. Examples : (3,7) after reflection becomes (-3,7) (-2, 5) after reflection becomes (2,5)
To reflect a point or a shape over the y-axis, you change the sign of the x-coordinate while keeping the y-coordinate the same. For example, if a point is located at (x, y), its reflection over the y-axis will be at (-x, y). This process effectively flips the shape or point horizontally across the y-axis.
A transformation that yields the same result as a rotation of 180 degrees around the origin followed by a reflection over the y-axis is a reflection over the x-axis. When you rotate a point 180 degrees around the origin, its coordinates change to their negatives, and reflecting that result over the y-axis switches the sign of the x-coordinate again, effectively mirroring it across the x-axis. Thus, the combined effect is equivalent to just reflecting over the x-axis.
A reflection in math is when a shape is flipped over the x or y axis by counting how many units the points are away from the axis and putting the point on the other side the same distance away. Shapes which are reflections are labeled with a '. Example: Shape ABC was reflected over the x axis to create shape A'B'C'.
