Question

question point r is located at (4, 2) on the coordinate plane. point r is reflected over the x - axis to create point r. point r is then reflected over the y - axis to create point r. what ordered pair describes the location of r? answer attempt 1 out of 2 r( , )

Explanation:

Step1: Reflect over x - axis

When a point $(x,y)$ is reflected over the $x$-axis, the $x$-coordinate remains the same and the $y$-coordinate changes its sign. Given point $R=(4,2)$, after reflecting over the $x$-axis, $R'=(4, - 2)$.

Step2: Reflect over y - axis

When a point $(x,y)$ is reflected over the $y$-axis, the $y$-coordinate remains the same and the $x$-coordinate changes its sign. Since $R'=(4,-2)$, after reflecting over the $y$-axis, $R''=(-4,-2)$.

Answer:

$R''(-4,-2)$
