How Do You Use Coordinates to Reflect a Figure Over the Y-Axis?
Note:
Want to see how to reflect a figure over the y-axis? Then this tutorial was made for you! In this tutorial, you'll see how to use coordinates from the original figure to reflect the figure over the y-axis. Take a look!
Background Tutorials
-
Understand signs of numbers in ordered pairs as indicating locations in quadrants of the coordinate plane; recognize that when two ordered pairs differ only by signs, the locations of the points are related by reflections across one or both axes.
-
What is an Ordered Pair?
Ordered pairs are a fundamental part of graphing. Ordered pairs make up functions on a graph, and very often, you need to plot ordered pairs in order to see what the graph of a function looks like. This tutorial will introduce you to ordered pairs!

Lines are taken to lines, and line segments to line segments of the same length.
-
What is a Transformation?
Transformations can be really fun! They allow you to change or move a figure. In this tutorial, learn about all the different kinds of transformations!
-
-
Understand that a two-dimensional figure is congruent to another if the second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, and translations; given two congruent figures, describe a sequence that exhibits the congruence between them.
-
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!

Further Exploration
-
Describe the effect of dilations, translations, rotations, and reflections on two-dimensional figures using coordinates.

How Do You Use Coordinates to Reflect a Figure Over the X-Axis?
Want to see how to reflect a figure over the x-axis? Then this tutorial was made for you! In this tutorial, you'll see how to use coordinates from the original figure to reflect the figure over the x-axis. Take a look!
