Question

22 reflect the point (5,6) over the y - axis. a (5,6) b (-5,6) c (-5,-6) d (5,-6)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the rule for reflecting over the y - axis

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

Step2: Apply the rule to the given point

For the point \((5,6)\), where \(x = 5\) and \(y=6\). Using the rule \((x,y)\to(-x,y)\), we substitute \(x = 5\) into \(-x\). So, \(-x=-5\) and \(y\) remains \(6\). The reflected point is \((-5,6)\).

Answer:

B. \((-5,6)\)
