Question

question what is the image of (8, -5) 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 $(-x,y)$.

Step2: Apply the rule

For the point $(8, - 5)$, $x = 8$ and $y=-5$. After reflection over the $y$-axis, $x$ becomes $-8$ and $y$ remains the same. So the new point is $(-8,-5)$.

Answer:

$(-8,-5)$
