What is (-5,3) after reflected over the y-axis

Question

Negash F. · Accepted Answer

The point (-5,3) after reflecting over the y-axis will be changed to (5, 3). Because when we reflect over the y-axis, the x position will be now changed to positive value in this case, while the y value remain the same. That is, we are reflecting or moving the point(-5,3) from the second quaderant to the first quaderant where both coordinates are now positive (5, 3).

Hello, thank you for taking the time to post your question!

When you reflect over the y-axis, the x coordinate changes sign. So what that means in this case is that the point (-5,3) would become (5,3)

I hope that helps get you moving in the right direction! Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions beyond that :)
