Question

The coordinate point A(2, -3) is reflected over the y-axis.

What are its new coordinates?

Answer 1

When a point is reflected over the y-axis, the x-coordinate of the point changes its sign while the y-coordinate remains the same.

For the point A(2, -3):

- The x-coordinate 2 becomes -2.
- The y-coordinate remains -3.

Thus, the new coordinates after reflecting point A over the y-axis are:

\((-2, -3)\).
