Question

On a coordinate grid, both point (-4, -1) and (2, 6) are reflected across the y-axis. What are the coordinates of the reflected points?

A. (4, -1) and (-2, 6)
B. (-4, 1) and (-2, 6)
C. (-4, 1) and (2, -6)
D. (4, 1) and (-2, -6)

Answer 1

After reflecting the points (-4, -1) and (2, 6) across the y-axis, the coordinates of the reflected points are (4, -1) and (-2, 6), respectively, which corresponds to option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

When reflecting points across the y-axis on a coordinate grid, the x-coordinate of each point is negated, while the y-coordinate remains the same. Therefore, the reflection of the point (-4, -1) across the y-axis will be (4, -1), and the reflection of the point (2, 6) will be (-2, 6). This corresponds to option A in the provided choices.
