Question

a point is reflected across the y-axis.then the reflected point is reflected across the x-axis.how will the coordinates of the final point be related to the coordinates of the original point?

Answer 1

so when the point is reflected across the y axis, that means that the y coordinate stays the same, but the x coordinate is multiplied by -1

so when the point is reflected across the x axis, that means that the x coordinate stays the same, but the y coordinate is multiplied by -1



therefor if the original poitn was (x,y)
reflected across the y axis
(-x,y)

reflected across teh x axis
(-x,-y)


the point will be negative, or the point will be in the opposite quadrant of the original point
