Question

point r is located at (4, -5) on the coordinate plane. point r is reflected over the y-axis to create point r. what ordered pair describes the location of r?
answer attempt 1 out of 2
r (□, □)
submit answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the rule for reflection over the 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 \(R(4,-5)\), here \(x = 4\) and \(y=-5\). Using the rule \((x,y)\to(-x,y)\), we substitute \(x = 4\) into \(-x\). So \(-x=-4\) and \(y\) remains \(-5\).

Answer:

\((-4,-5)\)
