Question

Oints (−6, 3) and (−6, −3) on the coordinate grid below show the positions of two dogs at a park:

A coordinate plane is shown. There is a point at negative 6, 3 labeled Dog 1. There is a point at negative 6, negative 3 labeled Dog 2.

Which statement best describes the relationship between the positions of the two players? (4 points)

a
Dog 1's position is Dog 2's position reflected across the y-axis; only the signs of the y-coordinates of Dog 1 and Dog 2 are different.
b
Dog 1's position is Dog 2's position reflected across the x-axis; only the signs of the y-coordinates of Dog 1 and Dog 2 are different.
c
Dog 1's position is Dog 2's position reflected across the x-axis; only the signs of the x-coordinates of Dog 1 and Dog 2 are different.
d
Dog 1's position is Dog 2's position reflected across the y-axis; only the signs of the x-coordinates of Dog 1 and Dog 2 are different.

Answer 1

B IS THE CORRECT ANSWER

Answer 2

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct way to write down co-ordinates: x,y

Dog 1's position: (-6,3)

Dog 2's position: (-6,-3)

Similarity: Both co-ordinates have -6 on the X axis (left to right line)

Difference: Dog 2's Y co-ordinate is NEGATIVE 3 while dog 1's Y co-ordinate is POSITIVE 3

The position is going to be reflected across the X axis because their X co-ordinates are the same, so dog 1 will be on the positive section for the Y axis (line that goes up and down) while Dog 2 will be on the negative section of the Y axis since it has negative 3 as its Y co-ordinate.
