the coordinate point Q (0,10) is reflected over the y- axis. identify the x- and y- coordinates of its image Q'

1 answer

To reflect a point over the y-axis, you change the sign of the x-coordinate while keeping the y-coordinate the same.

The original point Q is (0, 10).

Reflecting Q over the y-axis:

  • The x-coordinate changes from 0 to -0, which is still 0.
  • The y-coordinate remains 10.

Therefore, the coordinates of the image point Q' after reflecting over the y-axis are (0, 10).

In this case, the reflected point is the same as the original point since it lies on the y-axis.
