The coordinates of point P on a coordinate grid are (−5, −6). Point P is reflected across the y-axis to obtain point Q and across the x-axis to obtain point R. What are the coordinates of points Q and R? A.) Q(5, 6) and R(−5, −6) B.) Q(−5, −6) and R(5, 6) C.) Q(−5, 6) and R(5, −6) D.) Q(5, −6) and R(−5, 6)

Examples of reflecting a point across the x axis (-2,5) -----> (-2,-5) (10,4) -----> (10,-4) (17,-2.1) -----> (17,2.1) Notice how the x coordinate stays the same while the y coordinate changes in sign (positive to negative or vice versa)

Oh Yeaah

So it would be B?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Examples of reflecting a point across the y axis (1,7) -----> (-1,7) (-5,9) -----> (5,9) (3.2,10) -----> (-3.2,10) Notice how the y coordinate stays the same while the x coordinate changes in sign (positive to negative or vice versa)

Thennn

OpenStudy (ggdvaaa):

C ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

`Point P is reflected across the y-axis to obtain point Q ` use the rule I posted for reflecting over the y axis (second rule I posted)

OpenStudy (ggdvaaa):

A

OpenStudy (ggdvaaa):

I thinkk

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

P is (-5,-6), which coordinate will change?
