What happens to the coordinates of a shape when the shape reflects about the x-axis? What happens to the
coordinates when the shape reflects about the y-axls? Explain.


Sagot :

Hey there!

Here's what happens to the coordinates of a point when it's reflected around the x-axis:

(x, y) --> (x, -y) or (x, -y) --> (x, y)

So the point's x-coordinate hasn't changed.

Here's what happens to the coordinates of a point when it's reflected around the y-axis:

(x, y)--> (-x, y) or (-x, y) --> (x, y)

So the point's y-coordinate hasn't changed.

Hope everything is clear.
