Question

On a coordinate grid, both point (−4, −1) and (2, 6) point are reflected across the y-axis. What are the coordinates of the reflected points?

Answer 1

Answer: The coordinates of the reflected points are (4, -1) and (-2 ,6) .

Explanation:

The reflection rule to describe the image of the points that are reflected across the y-axis is given by :_

`(x,y)\to (-x , y)`

, where (x,y) = Original point

(-x,y) = Image point after reflection.

Given : On a coordinate grid, both point (−4, −1) and (2, 6) point are reflected across the y-axis.

Then, the coordinates of the reflected points are :-

`(-4,\ -1)\to (-(-4) , -1)=)(4,-1)`

`(2,6)\to(-2,6)`

Hence, the coordinates of the reflected points are (4, -1) and (-2 ,6) .
