The coordinate P (-2, 7) is reflected over the y-axis. State the coordinate of P'. (1 point)

• P' (-2, -7)
O P' (7,2)

O P' (2,7)

O P' (2, -7)

When a point is reflected over the y-axis, the x-coordinate changes sign while the y-coordinate remains the same.

For the point P (-2, 7):

  • The x-coordinate -2 becomes 2.
  • The y-coordinate remains 7.

So the reflected point P' is (2, 7).

The correct option is:

  • O P' (2, 7)
