Math Problem Statement

Graph the image of D(6, 6) after a reflection over the x-axis.

Solution

The problem asks to "Graph the image of D(6,6)D(6, 6) after a reflection over the x-axis."

When reflecting a point over the x-axis, we change the sign of the y-coordinate while keeping the x-coordinate the same.

For the point D(6,6)D(6, 6):

  • The x-coordinate remains 6.
  • The y-coordinate changes from 6 to 6-6.

Thus, the new point after reflection will be D(6,6)D'(6, -6).

You can now plot this new point at (6,6)(6, -6) on the graph.

Here are 5 related questions to deepen your understanding:

  1. How would you reflect a point over the y-axis?
  2. What happens to both coordinates when reflecting over the origin?
  3. If the original point was at (6,6)(-6, -6), what would its reflection over the x-axis be?
  4. How do you reflect a point across a line that is not an axis, such as y=xy = x?
  5. How does reflecting over both the x-axis and y-axis affect a point's coordinates?

Tip: Always pay attention to which axis you are reflecting over, as this determines whether the x-coordinate or y-coordinate changes.
