Question

point l is located at (-5, -2) on the coordinate plane. point l is reflected over the y-axis to create point l. what ordered pair describes the location of l?

answer
l(box, box)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall y-axis reflection rule

For a point $(x,y)$, reflection over the y-axis gives $(-x,y)$.

Step2: Apply rule to point $L(-5,-2)$

Substitute $x=-5$, $y=-2$: $-x = -(-5) = 5$, $y$ remains $-2$.

Answer:

$L'(5, -2)$
