Question

Given the point (−5, 2), write the coordinates of a point that is related by a reflection over the x- or y-axis. Specify which axis is the line of symmetry.

Answer 1

X-axis (-2,-5) Y=x (5,-2)

Explanation:

On edge

Answer 2

If we reflect the point (-5,2) over the x-axis (line of simetry) the reflcted point is (-5,-2).

If we reflect the point (-5,2) over the y-axis (line of simetry) the reflcted point is (5,2).

Explanation:

The point (-5,2) is plotted as red in the picture attached.

To reflect a point over the x-axis, x value must be the same and the y value mus be the opposite. The result is (-5,-2) and is plotted as a blue point.

To reflect a point over the x-axis, y value must be the same and the x value mus be the opposite. The result is (5,2) and is plotted as a green point.
