Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's solve the problem from the image you've uploaded.
We are given:
- Point at .
- Point is reflected over the x-axis to create .
- Then, is reflected over the y-axis to create .
Step 1: Reflecting over the x-axis
When a point is reflected over the x-axis, the y-coordinate changes sign. Thus, reflecting point over the x-axis gives:
Step 2: Reflecting over the y-axis
When a point is reflected over the y-axis, the x-coordinate changes sign. Reflecting point over the y-axis gives:
Final Answer:
The coordinates of are .
Would you like further details or have any questions? Here are five related questions that might help expand on this concept:
- What happens when a point is reflected over both axes simultaneously?
- How do you reflect a point over any arbitrary line (like )?
- What would the coordinates be if were reflected over the line ?
- Can you generalize a formula for reflecting any point over the origin?
- What is the effect of multiple reflections on the position of a point?
Tip: Always remember that reflecting over the x-axis only affects the y-coordinate, and reflecting over the y-axis only affects the x-coordinate!
