Question

Point A in figure X has an ordered pair of (3,4)
. Figure X is reflected across the y
-axis. Samrah thinks that the coordinates for point A on the reflected figure is (3,−4)
. Is she correct? Choose 1 for yes and 2 for no.(1 point)

Answer 1

To determine the coordinates of point A after reflecting it across the y-axis, we need to understand how reflection across the y-axis affects the coordinates.

The general rule for reflecting a point (x, y) across the y-axis is that the x-coordinate changes sign while the y-coordinate remains the same. Therefore, for point A with coordinates (3, 4), the reflection across the y-axis would be:

• Reflected point A: (-3, 4)

Samrah thinks the coordinates for point A on the reflected figure are (3, -4), which is incorrect.

Therefore, the answer is 2 for no.
