What is the X-Axis?
To graph a function or plot an ordered pair, you need to use a coordinate plane, so you should learn all about it! In this tutorial, you'll learn about the x-axis and see where it's located in the coordinate plane.

What is a Reflection?
When you look in the mirror, you see your reflection. In math, you can create mirror images of figures by reflecting them over a given line. This tutorial introduces you to reflections and shows you some examples of reflections. Take a look!
-
What is a Line of Reflection?
Just about everything in math has a name! Did you know that the line you reflect a figure over has a special name? It's called the line of reflection! Watch this tutorial and learn about the line of reflection.
