The point (-4, -5) is reflected across the y-axis. what are the coordinates of the resulting point?

1 answer

To reflect a point across the y-axis, you need to change the sign of the x-coordinate while keeping the y-coordinate the same.

Given the point \((-4, -5)\):

  • The x-coordinate is \(-4\). When we reflect this across the y-axis, it becomes \(4\).
  • The y-coordinate remains \(-5\).

Therefore, the coordinates of the resulting point after reflection across the y-axis are \((4, -5)\).
