Question

The point (-5,2) is reflected over the y-axis. Where is the new point located?

(-5,-2)

(5,-2)

(-5,2)

(5,2)

Answer 1

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

For the point (-5, 2):

- The x-coordinate -5 changes to 5.
- The y-coordinate remains 2.

Thus, the new point after reflection over the y-axis will be (5, 2).

So the answer is (5,2).
