Question

The point A(1, -6) is reflected over the origin and its image is point B. What arethe coordinates of point B?

Answer 1

(-1, 6)

Explanation:

When a reflection over the origin is made, the following rule is fulfilled:

`P(x,y)\rightarrow P^(\prime)^{}(-x,-y)`

Therefore, in this case would be:

`A(1,-6)\rightarrow B(-1,6)`

Therefore the coordinates of point B are (-1, 6)
