Question

What is (5,1) reflected on the y axis

Answer 1

5 is how many units on the x axis (the horizontal one) and 1 is how many units on the y axis (the vertical one). So, the correct answer is 1.

Answer 2

(-5 , 1)

Explanation:

If you are reflecting over the x-axis, you are changing the sign of the y.

If you are reflecting over the y-axis, you are changing the sign of the x.

In this case, you have the point (5 , 1). You are reflecting over the y-axis, which means that you are flipping the sign of the x value.

(5 , 1) reflected over the y-axis is (-5 , 1)

(-5 , 1)
