Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Recall reflection rule

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 A

Given point $A(5, - 4)$, where $x = 5$ and $y=-4$. After reflection over the $y -$axis, $x$ becomes $-5$ and $y$ remains $-4$. So the new point $A'$ is $(-5,-4)$.

Answer:

$A'(-5,-4)$
