Hint: when you reflect any point (x,y) over the y axis, you get the new point (-x,y) ex: (6, 10) reflects over the y axis to get (-6,10)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uh.. I'm still confused about it...

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what point is W

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3,2?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you have it flipped around

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

it should be (2,3)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

now you reflect that over the y-axis to get (-2,3) ... you just change the sign of positive 2 to negative 2

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so W' is the point (-2, 3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh! Well, that makes more sense then! Thanks : )
