Question

point q is located at (6, - 1) on the coordinate plane. point q is reflected over the x - axis to create point q. point q is then reflected over the y - axis to create point q. what ordered pair describes the location of q?

Explanation:

Step1: Reflect over x - axis

When a point $(x,y)$ is reflected over the x - axis, the rule is $(x,y)\to(x, - y)$. Given point $Q=(6,-1)$, after reflecting over the x - axis, $Q'=(6,1)$.

Step2: Reflect over y - axis

When a point $(x,y)$ is reflected over the y - axis, the rule is $(x,y)\to(-x,y)$. Since $Q'=(6,1)$, after reflecting over the y - axis, $Q''=(-6,1)$.

Answer:

$(-6,1)$
