Question

the point q(-2, 10) is reflected over the y-axis. what are the coordinates of the resulting point, q?
q(box, box)
submit

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the reflection rule over y - axis

When a point \((x,y)\) is reflected over the \(y\) - axis, the rule is \((x,y)\to(-x,y)\).

Step2: Apply the rule to the given point

For the point \(Q(-2,10)\), here \(x = - 2\) and \(y=10\). Using the rule \((x,y)\to(-x,y)\), we substitute \(x=-2\) into \(-x\). So \(-x=-(-2) = 2\) and \(y\) remains \(10\).

Answer:

\(Q'(2,10)\)
