Question

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?

Answer 1

i dont yet understand how reflections work

Answer 2

Flip the sign of whatever coordinate you are not reflecting across. For example, if you are reflecting across the y-axis, flip the sign of the x-coordinate to get the coordinates of the reflected point

Answer 3

so the reflected point would be (1,4)

Answer 4

B'' would be (1,4). For B', take (-1,-4) and flip the sign of x-coordinate, since you are reflecting across the y-axis

Answer 5

(1,-4)?

Answer 6

yup :)

Answer 7

cool
so i answered the question

Answer 8

looks good :)
