Question

Point V is located at (2, 5) on the coordinate plane. Point V is reflected over the x axis to create point V’. point v’ is then reflected over the y axis to creative point V”. What ordered pair described the location of V”?

Answer 1

When you reflect a point over the x-axis, the y-coordinate changes sign (positive to negative or vice versa), while the x-coordinate remains the same.

Point V is at (2, 5), and when it's reflected over the x-axis, the y-coordinate becomes -5. So, the location of V' is (2, -5).

Now, when you reflect a point over the y-axis, the x-coordinate changes sign, but the y-coordinate remains the same.

Point V' is at (2, -5), and when it's reflected over the y-axis, the x-coordinate becomes -2. So, the location of V'' is (-2, -5).

Answer 2

(-2, -5)

Explanation:

In order to reflect point V over the x axis, we flip the sign of its y-coordinate.

Therefore, the coordinates of point V' are (2, -5).

and

To reflect point V' over the y axis, we flip the sign of its x-coordinate.

Therefore, the coordinates of point V'' are (-2, -5).

In conclusion, the ordered pair that describes the location of V'' is (-2, -5).
