How are the coordinates of a new point found if the point is reflected through the x-axis? How are the coordinates of a new point found if the point is reflected through the y-axis?

Question

anonymous · Answer

Easy method is plotting the points on a graph and finding out the image dist=point distance!!

ok thanks can you help me with this one?@cambrige 

Start with the point B (-1, -4). Reflect the point through the y-axis. What are the new coordinates of the point B’? Now reflect the point through the x-axis. What are the new coordinates of the point B’’? What is the relationship between the original point B and B’’? Can you describe this in terms of one reflection?

anonymous · Answer

thru graph plot,u get coord. of B(1,-4)

anonymous · Answer

on being reflected thru x,u get B"(1,4)

anonymous · Answer

I got that one but do I reflect B'' from the start point of from B'?

anonymous · Answer

oh ok thank you

anonymous · Answer

what do I put for what is the relationship..

anonymous · Answer

depends

anonymous · Answer

is the question same as that of wat u typed??

anonymous · Answer

yeah its the bottom part of the same question

anonymous · Answer

if B' is taken to be the orginal point then relationship is that they are equidistant from the origin!!
