Question

question what is the image of (-5, 9) after a reflection over the y - axis? answer attempt 1 out of 2

Explanation:

Step1: Recall reflection rule

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

Step2: Apply the rule

Given the point $(-5,9)$, where $x=-5$ and $y = 9$. After reflection over the $y -$axis, $x$ becomes $-(-5)=5$ and $y$ remains $9$.

Answer:

$(5,9)$
