Question

I need help with this question... the correct answer choice

Answer 1

Given the point P with the coordinate indicated below

`\begin{gathered} P(a,b) \\ x\Rightarrow a \\ y\Rightarrow b \end{gathered}`

When a point is reflected across the line y=x, the transformation rule is shown below:

`(x,y)\rightarrow(y,x)`

From the above transformation rule, we see that the coordinate will be swapped for reflection over the line y = x.

Thus, the coordinate of Q is shown below.

`P(a,b)\rightarrow Q(b,a)`

Hence, the coordinates of point Q is ( b , a )

The second option is the correct option.
