Question

Marissa wants to write an abbreviated set of directions for finding coordinates of a figure reflected across the y-axis. Which mapping notation is correct?

(x, y) right-arrow (negative x, y)
(x, y) right-arrow (x, negative y)
(x, y) right-arrow (negative x, negative y)
(x, y) right-arrow (y, x)

Answer 1

A.

Explanation:

Answer 2

(x,y) right arrow (negative x , y)

Explanation:

Mathematically, when we reflect a point over the x-axis; we have a result

The result is that the x- coordinate of the point reflected takes up a negative value

so what we have here is that;

(x,y) becomes (-x,y) once reflected over the y-axis

So, traditionally, we add the arrow

So our answer is thus;

(x,y) right arrow (negative x , y)
