Math Problem Statement

What is the image of left parenthesis, 3, comma, minus, 7, right parenthesis(3,−7) after a reflection over the line y, equals, xy=x?

Solution

To reflect the point (3,7)(3, -7) over the line y=xy = x, you switch the coordinates of the point. This is because the reflection over y=xy = x interchanges the xx- and yy-coordinates of the point.

Given the point (3,7)(3, -7):

  • After reflection over y=xy = x, the coordinates are reversed.

Thus, the image of (3,7)(3, -7) after reflection over the line y=xy = x is (7,3)(-7, 3).

Here are 5 related questions:

  1. How do you reflect a point over the line y=xy = -x?
  2. What happens when you reflect a point over the xx-axis or yy-axis?
  3. How can you determine the distance of a point from a line before and after reflection?
  4. What is the image of the point (7,3)(-7, 3) after reflecting over y=xy = x again?
  5. How do transformations like reflections affect the orientation of geometric shapes?

Tip: To reflect over y=xy = x, simply swap the xx- and yy-coordinates. For y=xy = -x, swap and negate both.
