Question

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.

Point A is located at (9, -5).

Point A is reflected across the
to give point B with coordinates (9, 5).

Point B is reflected across the
to give point C with coordinates (-9, 5).

Answer 1

Point A is reflected across the x-axis to give point B with coordinates (9, 5).

Point B is reflected across the y-axis to give point C with coordinates (-9, 5).

How to fill the blank

The knowledge of transformation is necessary to fill the blanks

In coordinate geometry, reflecting a point across an axis involves changing the sign of one of its coordinates.

Point A is initially located at (9, -5). When reflected across the x-axis, the y-coordinate changes sign. Therefore point B is at (9, 5)

Point B with coordinates (9, 5) is then reflected across the y-axis. This time the x-coordinate changes sign resulting in point C with coordinates (-9, 5).
