Question

The endpoints of segment AB are A(-2,4) and B(4,0). Find the endpoints of the image after the segment is reflected over the y-axis.

A' = (2, 4)
B' = (-4, 0)

Answer 1

The endpoints of the segment after reflecting over the y-axis are A'(-2,4) and B'(-4,0).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the endpoints of the image after reflecting the segment AB over the y-axis, we need to change the sign of the x-coordinate of each point. So, the x-coordinate of point A becomes positive and the x-coordinate of point B becomes negative. Using this rule, the endpoints of the reflected segment are A'(-2,4) and B'(-4,0).
