(Help quickly!) The point (6, −17) was reflected over an axis to (−6, −17). Which axis was it reflected over? Explain.

x-axis, because the x-coordinate is the opposite
y-axis, because the x-coordinate is the opposite
y-axis, because the y-coordinate is the opposite
x-axis, because the y-coordinate is the opposite

Answer: B: y-axis, because the x-coordinate is the opposite

Explanation:

If the x coordinate is negative, it must have been reflected over the y axis.

likewise, if the y coordinate is negative, it must have been reflected over the x axes.

it should make intuitive sense :)
