Question

The point Q(-1, -3) is reflected over the y-axis. What are the coordinates of the resulting point, Q′?

Answer 1

Well, make a graph for the point and plot the point as the first step

Answer 2

That's what the graph looks like

Answer 3

yes it does

Answer 4

Okay! Good!

Answer 5

So now, you are reflecting it over the y-axis, which basically means that the X VALUE of the equation stays the same, but the Y VALUE is changed

Answer 6

Are you following me so far?

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

okay

Answer 9

I just get confused with the negatives and positives. For example I don't know when it is a negative or positive.

Answer 10

When what is a negative... the point?

Answer 11

If you are reflecting the point about the y-axis, your x will change and your y will stay the same.
