Question

point (-5,2) is reflected over the y axis. where is the new point located? (5,-2) (-5,2) (-5,-2) (5,2)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall reflection rule

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

Step2: Apply rule to given point

For the point $(-5,2)$, where $x=-5$ and $y = 2$, after reflection over the y - axis, $x$ becomes $-(-5)=5$ and $y$ remains $2$. So the new point is $(5,2)$.

Answer:

$(5,2)$
