Question

the coordinate point q (0,-8) is reflected over the y - axis. identify the x - and y - coordinates of its image, q. the coordinates of q is: (1 point) (-8,0) (0,8) (8,0) (0,-8)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall reflection rule

When a point $(x,y)$ is reflected over the y - axis, the rule is $(x,y)\to(-x,y)$.

Step2: Apply rule to point Q

For point $Q(0, - 8)$, where $x = 0$ and $y=-8$. Using the rule $(x,y)\to(-x,y)$, we get $(-0,-8)$ which is still $(0,-8)$.

Answer:

$(0,-8)$
