WILL GIVE MEDAL!! Help please! Point P is located at (–3, –2). P is reflected across the x-axis to create P'. What quadrant is P' in? A. I B. II C. III D. IV

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it C?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Do you know where that point is on the graph, and the numbering of the quadrants? Why do you think it's C?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Nope. The original point is at (-3,2). Can you plot that point?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, it's three to the left and two up.

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Mhm, which quadrant is that?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

|dw:1402545288970:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I put that the first time and it was wrong, this is the re-take. It's not quadrant 2 for some reason..?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Yeah, it asks for which quadrant it will be in if reflected over the x axis. What will be the coordinates of the point then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it would be Q1

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Omg ._. I'm sorry. The original point is at (-3,-2) Quadrant 3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhhh, I'm slow. ._. So it would be quadrant 4?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Reflecting it over the x-axis will give you the point (-3,2). You know which quadrant that is. c:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh my, lol Quadrant 3.

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

No don't guess. ._. Use the quadrant map.

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

No. Wat. It was originally in Quadrant 3, (-3,-2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, it would be Quadrant 4 LOL

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

No. .-. If you reflect it over the x axis. The point will go from (-3,-2) to (-3,2).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Quadrant 2? That's wrong though.

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

No, that's right. :3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I put that last time and it was marked wrong, no lie..

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

I cri.

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

They are incorrect.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It says "reflected across the x-axis" not over it..?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

It means the same thing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll just guess then, because they said Quadrant II was incorrect, maybe they are looking at it in another way? As in Q1 being top left?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

I've never heard of that b4. o-o Idek. Sorry. ._.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's really strange, lol. Oh well thanks for the help anyways! :D
