Question

point w is located at (-6,6) on the coordinate plane. point w is reflected over the y - axis to create point w. what ordered pair describes the location of w? answer attempt 1 out of 2 w( , )

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the reflection rule 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 point $W(-6,6)$

Here $x = - 6$ and $y = 6$. Using the rule $(-x,y)$, we substitute $x=-6$ into $-x$. So $-x=-(-6)=6$ and $y$ remains $6$.

So the coordinates of $W'$ are $(6,6)$.

Answer:

$(6,6)$
