Question

the point j(4, -4) is reflected over the y - axis. what are the coordinates of the resulting point, j?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall reflection rule

When reflecting a point $(x,y)$ over the $y$-axis, the $y$-coordinate remains the same and the $x$-coordinate changes its sign.

Step2: Apply rule to point $J(4, - 4)$

The original $x$-coordinate is $4$, after reflection over the $y$-axis, it becomes $-4$. The $y$-coordinate is $-4$ and remains $-4$.

Answer:

$(-4,-4)$
