Question

2 reflect the point (5, 6) over the y - axis. a (5, -6) b (-5, 6) c (-5, -6) d (5, 6)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall reflection rule

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

Step2: Apply the rule

For the point $(5,6)$, $x = 5$ and $y=6$. After reflection over the y - axis, $x$ becomes $-5$ and $y$ remains $6$. So the new point is $(-5,6)$.

Answer:

B. (-5, 6)
