Question

Point G is located at (6, 2) on the coordinate plane. Point G is reflected over the y -axis to create point G^ prime . What ordered pair describes the location of G?

Answer 1

The ordered pair that best describes the location of G' is (-6,2).

Explanation:

Reflecting a point over the y-axis:

When a point (x,y) is reflected over the y-axis, it's x coordinate is multiplied by -1, while the y-coordinate stays the same. Thus:

(x,y) -> (-x,y).

Point G is located at (6, 2)

When reflected over the y-axis:

G'(-6,2).

The ordered pair that best describes the location of G' is (-6,2).
