Question

Point K(−6,−3) on the coordinate plane is reflected over the y-axis to create point K′ . What ordered pair describes the location of K′ ?

a) (−6,3)
b) (6,3)
c) (6,−3)
d) (−6,−3)

Answer 1

The ordered pair that describes the location of K' after reflecting over the y-axis is (6,-3).

Step-by-step explanation:

When a point is reflected over the y-axis, the x-coordinate changes sign while the y-coordinate remains the same. Since the original point, K, has coordinates (-6,-3), reflecting it over the y-axis will result in the x-coordinate becoming positive 6 and the y-coordinate staying the same. Therefore, the ordered pair that describes the location of K' is (6,-3).
