Question

The point A(1, -6) is reflected over the origin and its image is point B. What arethe coordinates of point B?

Answer 1

ANSWER:

(-1, 6)

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

When a reflection over the origin is made, the following rule is fulfilled:

$P(x,y)\rightarrow P^{\prime}^{}(-x,-y)$

Therefore, in this case would be:

$A(1,-6)\rightarrow B(-1,6)$

Therefore the coordinates of point B are (-1, 6)
