Question

Consider the be point A located at the coordinates (3,5). First, reflect the point over the x-axis. Then, translate the reflected point up 4 units and label this point A”. What are the coordinates of A”?

Answer 1

(3, -1)

Explanation:

When reflecting over the x-axis, you take the opposite of the y coordinate.

(3, 5) -----> (3, -5)

When you translate up that means the point is going up the y-axis, so add 4 to the y coordiante.

(3, -5) ------> (3, -5 + 4) -------> (3, -1)
