Question

Reflect the point (13, 8)
across the y
-axis. What is the result?(1 point)



Reflect the endpoint of a line segment (−5, 10)
across the x
-axis. What is the result?(1 point)

Answer 1

To reflect a point across the axes, you can follow these rules:

1. To reflect a point \((x, y)\) across the **y-axis**, the new point will be \((-x, y)\).
2. To reflect a point \((x, y)\) across the **x-axis**, the new point will be \((x, -y)\).

Now, applying these rules:

1. Reflecting the point \((13, 8)\) across the **y-axis**:
- New point: \((-13, 8)\)

2. Reflecting the point \((-5, 10)\) across the **x-axis**:
- New point: \((-5, -10)\)

So the results are:
- Reflection of \((13, 8)\) across the y-axis: \((-13, 8)\)
- Reflection of \((-5, 10)\) across the x-axis: \((-5, -10)\)
