Question

question 8) reflect over the y - axis. what is the coordinate for p?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall reflection rule

The rule for reflecting a point $(x,y)$ over the y - axis is $(-x,y)$.

Step2: Identify original coordinates of P

Assume the original coordinates of point P are $(x_0,y_0)$. From the graph, if we assume P has coordinates $(4, - 2)$ (since it is 4 units to the right of the y - axis and 2 units below the x - axis).

Step3: Apply the reflection rule

Using the rule $(-x,y)$, for the point $(4,-2)$ reflected over the y - axis, we get $(-4,-2)$.

Answer:

$(-4,-2)$
