Question

Point W is reflected over the y-axis. What are the coordinates of the resulting point, W'? Point W is located at (5, -2) to be specific.
A. (-2, 5)
B. (-5, -2)
C. (-5, 2)
D. (5, 2)

Answer 1

Reflection across the y-axis negates the x-coordinate and leaves y unchanged: (x, y) → (−x, y). So (5, −2) → (−5, −2). Answer: B.
