Reflection across the y-axis changes the sign of the x - coordinate only, that is, (x, y) becomes (-x, y).

Assume your points are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). The slope of a line is its rise (the change in y-coordinates) over its run (the change in x-coordinates). So to find the slope of the line, you substitute the correct values into the formula (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
On a graph, the distance above and below the x-axis is given by the y-coordinate. Each point has a distinct location on the graph given by (x,y) where x represents the horizontal placement of the point and y represents the vertical placement. As you move from one point to another on the graph, your coordinates change. For example as you go from the point (2, 5) to (6, 15) your x-values went from 2 to 6, meaning they changed by 4 units (the difference in the x-coordinates). The x-values are your horizontal placements, so the horizontal change was 4 units. The y-values, are your vertical placements. They went from 5 to 15, a difference of 10 units, so the Vertical Change is 10 units. Put simply, the vertical change is the difference in the y-coordinates.
To reflect a point across the origin, you simply change the sign of both the x- and y-coordinates of the point. This transformation involves multiplying the coordinates by -1.
Reflection across the y-axis changes the sign of the x - coordinate only, that is, (x, y) becomes (-x, y).
If your points are (p,f), they become (p,-f).
A reflection is when a shape flips completely over. The coordinates of the shape will opposite as well. The reflection can change depending what you are flipping it over.

Yes, reflection changes the orientation of an object by flipping it across an axis, such as a line, without changing its shape or size. The object appears as a mirror image of its original position.
The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. When the angle of incidence changes, the angle of reflection will also change accordingly, maintaining the law of reflection.
Rise over run, generally change in y-coordinates divided by change in x-coordinates.
No, reflection does not change the speed of light. When light reflects off a surface, it retains its speed, but its direction changes based on the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection.

The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence when light hits a flat and smooth surface. If the angle of incidence changes, the angle of reflection will also change proportionally to maintain this equality in accordance with the law of reflection.
