Question

The point C(-2, 3) has been transformed to C(2, 3). The transformation is described as ______.

Answer 1

Answer: a reflection over the y-axis.

Explanation:

This is a reflection, the two most common reflections are:

Over the y-axis, that transforms a point (x, y) into (-x, y)

over the x-axis, that transforms the point (x, y) into (x, -y)

Here we have the transformation from (-2, 3) to (2, 3)

So the x-component changed of sign, this coincides with a reflection over the y-axis.

So the correct answer is a reflection over the y-axis.
