Math Problem Statement

do the problems

Reflect the points A, B, C, and D across the Y-axis and identify their reflected coordinates.

Solution

The problem requires reflecting points on the coordinate plane over the Y-axis and then identifying the coordinates of their reflections. Here’s a step-by-step solution based on the provided grid:

Original Points and their Reflections:

  1. Point A (5, 4)

    • Reflection across the Y-axis: Change the sign of the x-coordinate.
    • Reflected Point: (-5, 4)
  2. Point B (-3, -3)

    • Reflection across the Y-axis: Change the sign of the x-coordinate.
    • Reflected Point: (3, -3)
  3. Point C (2, -5)

    • Reflection across the Y-axis: Change the sign of the x-coordinate.
    • Reflected Point: (-2, -5)
  4. Point D (-4, 2)

    • Reflection across the Y-axis: Change the sign of the x-coordinate.
    • Reflected Point: (4, 2)

Summary of Reflected Coordinates:

  • A: (-5, 4)
  • B: (3, -3)
  • C: (-2, -5)
  • D: (4, 2)

  1. What is the general rule for reflecting a point across the Y-axis?
  2. How would the points be reflected if reflected across the X-axis instead?
  3. What are the coordinates of point A if reflected across both the X-axis and Y-axis?
  4. How does reflecting a point across the origin differ from reflecting across an axis?

Tip:

When reflecting across the Y-axis, only the x-coordinate changes sign while the y-coordinate remains the same.
