If the function f(x) = (x + 1)? is reflected horizontally, how does the

Question

reflection affect the point (-2, 1)?

• In the horizontal reflection, the point (-2, 1) becomes (2, 1).
• In the horizontal reflection, the point (-2, 1) becomes (1, 2).
• In the horizontal reflection, the point (-2, 1) becomes (2, -1).
• In the horizontal reflection, the point (-2,1) becomes (-2, - 1).

Answer 1

To reflect a point horizontally, we change the sign of the x-coordinate while keeping the y-coordinate the same.

The point given is (-2, 1).

• The reflection results in the x-coordinate changing from -2 to 2, while the y-coordinate remains 1.

Therefore, the reflection of the point (-2, 1) is (2, 1).

So the correct answer is:

• In the horizontal reflection, the point (-2, 1) becomes (2, 1).
