What is the reflection of point P(-1, 6) across the line y = x? P(6, -1) P(-6, -1) P(-6, 1) P(6, 1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1 in of which axis ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not sure that's all it says

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Reflection about y=x, (x,y) -> (y,x) That is to say, x and y coordinates are switched after reflection.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be -6 , 1 ?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Remember that the negative sign is part of the coordinates. For example, (-1,6) means the x-coordinate is -1, and y-coordinate is 6.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then 6 , -1 ?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

That is correct!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you! (:
