Want this question answered?
If the coordinates of a point, before reflection, were (p, q) then after reflection, they will be (-p, q).
Yes, it will.
The coordinates of a point two units to the right of the y-axis and three units above the x-axis would be (2,3).
me no no
There are infinitely many possible correspondences between points in the coordinate plane. Some examples: Every point with coordinates (x+1, y) is one unit to the right of the point at (x, y). Every point with coordinates (x, y+1) is one unit up from the point at (x, y). Every point with coordinates (x, -y) is the reflection, in the y-axis of the point at (x, y).
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).
If the coordinates of a point, before reflection, were (p, q) then after reflection, they will be (-p, q).
y' = y, x' = -x.
The points after reflection will follow points equal but different direction, to the path followed before the reflection. So, if the line would cover 3.5 on the x and 5 on the y; it will reflect symmetrically giving you the formula to get your answer.
Reflection across the y-axis changes the sign of the x - coordinate only, that is, (x, y) becomes (-x, y).
Yes, it will.
Yes. Suppose the point is P = (x, y). Its reflection, in the x-axis is Q = (x, -y) and then |PQ| = 2y.
They are (-a, b).
If your points are (p,f), they become (p,-f).
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)
In order to answer that, I need to know the position of ABCD with respect tothe x-axis before the reflection process begins.But wait! What light through yonder window breaks ? ! On second thought, maybe I don't.If D is the point (x, y) before the reflection, then D' is the point (x, -y) after it.
In a two-axis system, each point has coordinates that specify its position in relation to the two axes. The horizontal axis is typically labeled x, and the vertical axis is labeled y. The coordinates of a point are written as (x, y).
