Question

An illustration shows a coordinate plane. The x-axis and the y-axis range from negative 6 to 6 in one unit increments. Four points are plotted. The points are connected to form a quadrilateral. Point W is plotted at the coordinates left parenthesis negative 2 comma 1 right parenthesis, Point X is plotted at left parenthesis negative 4 comma negative 3 right parenthesis, point Y is plotted at left parenthesis 5 comma negative 2 right parenthesis, and point Z is plotted at left parenthesis 6 comma 6 right parenthesis. Points W and X, points X and Y, points Y and Z, and points Z and W are connected by line segments to form quadrilateral W X Y Z.

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 W

Point Y

Point Z

Point X

Answer 1

If we reflect the figure across the y-axis, the x-coordinates of the points will be negated.

Point W has coordinates (-2, 1). When we reflect it across the y-axis, the x-coordinate becomes positive 2. This means that point W will end up in Quadrant I.

Therefore, the answer is Point W.
