Question

the point c(-2, 4) is reflected over the y-axis. what are the coordinates of the resulting point, c?
c(□, □)
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 point \(C(-2,4)\)

For the point \(C(-2,4)\), here \(x = - 2\) and \(y = 4\). Using the rule \((x,y)\to(-x,y)\), we substitute \(x=-2\) into \(-x\). So \(-x=-(-2)=2\) and \(y = 4\) remains the same.

Answer:

\((2,4)\)
