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 Z Point upper Z Point Y Point upper Y Point W Point upper W Point X

To determine which point will end up in Quadrant I after the reflection across the y-axis, we need to understand how the reflection affects the coordinates of each point.

When a point \((x, y)\) is reflected across the y-axis, its coordinates change to \((-x, y)\).

Now, let's analyze the possible points in the figure WXYZ:

  1. If any point in Quadrant II is reflected across the y-axis, it will move to Quadrant I.
  2. Points in Quadrant I will remain in Quadrant I if they are reflected across the y-axis.
  3. Points in Quadrant III will move to Quadrant II.
  4. Points in Quadrant IV will move to Quadrant III.

To find out which point from WXYZ would be in Quadrant I after the reflection, we should identify the coordinates of points W, X, Y, and Z.

However, since we do not have the exact coordinates of these points, we can only conclude that to be in Quadrant I, the y-coordinate must be positive and the x-coordinate must be positive after the reflection.

Given various points and their potential coordinates, if any point starts in Quadrant II (with a negative x-coordinate and positive y-coordinate), it will move to Quadrant I (where both coordinates are positive).

If you have the specific coordinates of W, X, Y, and Z, please provide them, and I can tell you which point will end up in Quadrant I after the reflection. Without the coordinates, I cannot definitively answer which specific point it is.
