Question

point a is located at (-2, -6) on the coordinate plane. point a is reflected over the y - axis to create point a. what ordered pair describes the location of a? answer attempt 1 out of 2 a( , )

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 point $A(-2,-6)$, for $x=-2$ and $y = - 6$, after reflection over the $y - axis$, $x$ becomes $-(-2)=2$ and $y$ remains $-6$.

Answer:

$A'(2,-6)$
