Question

the point j is plotted on the coordinate grid below. plot the point j, the reflection of j over the y - axis. click on the graph to plot a point. click a point to delete it. answer attempt 1 out of 99 you must answer all questions above in order to submit.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall reflection rule

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

Step2: Identify coordinates of point J

Assume the coordinates of point $J$ are $(4, - 4)$ (by observing the grid).

Step3: Apply reflection rule

For point $J(4,-4)$, when reflected over the $y - axis$, the $x$-coordinate changes sign. So $J'$ has coordinates $(-4,-4)$.

Answer:

Plot the point $(-4,-4)$ on the grid.
