How Do You Use Coordinates to Reflect a Figure Over the Y-Axis?

Use the coordinates to reflect a figure over the y-axis.

Summary

  1. Listing the original coordinates will make it easier to find the coordinates of the image
  2. The image is the new figure we get after the reflection
  3. Since we're reflecting across the y-axis, the y-coordinates stay the same
  4. The x-coordinates of the image are the opposites of the x-coordinates of the original figure

Notes

    1. Listing the original coordinates will make it easier to find the coordinates of the image
    1. Since we're reflecting across the y-axis, the y-coordinates should stay the same
    1. The x-coordinates should have the same number, but the opposite sign
    1. The image is the new figure we get after the transformation
