Question

A four-sided figure WXYZ is shown on the coordinate plane. The figure is then reflected across the y -axis. Which point of the figure above will end up in Quadrant I? (1 point) Responses Point X Point upper X Point W Point upper W Point Z Point upper Z Point Y

Answer 1

To determine which point of the figure WXYZ will end up in Quadrant I after being reflected across the y-axis, we need to consider how each point transforms under this reflection.

When a point \((x, y)\) is reflected across the y-axis, its new coordinates will be \((-x, y)\).

For a point to end up in Quadrant I, both coordinates must be positive: \(x > 0\) and \(y > 0\).

If you provide the coordinates of points W, X, Y, and Z, we can evaluate which one, after reflection across the y-axis, will have both coordinates positive and will correspondingly be in Quadrant I.
