Question

graph the image of l(1, -8) after a reflection over the y - axis.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall reflection rule

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

Step2: Apply rule to point $L$

For point $L(1, - 8)$, $x = 1$ and $y=-8$. After reflection over the $y - axis$, $x$ becomes $-1$ and $y$ remains the same. So the new point is $(-1,-8)$.

Answer:

The image of point $L(1,-8)$ after reflection over the $y - axis$ is $(-1,-8)$. To graph it, find the point $(-1,-8)$ on the coordinate - plane. It is 1 unit to the left of the $y - axis$ and 8 units below the $x - axis$.
