To reflect a point across the y-axis, we change the sign of the x-coordinate while keeping the y-coordinate the same.
The original endpoints are (1, 1) and (4, 4).
- For the first endpoint (1, 1), the x-coordinate becomes -1 while the y-coordinate remains the same. The reflected endpoint is (-1, 1).
- For the second endpoint (4, 4), the x-coordinate becomes -4 while the y-coordinate remains the same. The reflected endpoint is (-4, 4).
Therefore, the reflected endpoints across the y-axis are (-1, 1) and (-4, 4).
A line segment has endpoints (1, 1) and (4, 4) Demonstrating the properties of reflections across the y-axis, what are the reflected endpoints?
