What general statement can you use to determine the ordered pairs of the vertices of a figure if it is reflected across the y-axis?
A. If a figure is reflected across the y-axis, the x-coordinates of the vertices in the reflection will be the same as those in the original figure and the y-coordinates of the vertices in the reflection will be the opposite of those in the original figure.
B. If a figure is reflected across the y-axis, the x-coordinates of the vertices in the reflection will be the opposite of those in the original figure and the y-coordinates of the vertices in the reflection will be the same as those in the original figure.
C. If a figure is reflected across the y-axis, the x-coordinates of the vertices in the reflection will be the opposite of those in the original figure and the y-coordinates of the vertices in the reflection will also be the opposite as those in the original figure.
My answer is B. am i right?
i meant A.
yes
Thank you! :3
Yes, you are correct. Option B is the correct statement.
When a figure is reflected across the y-axis, the x-coordinates of the vertices in the reflection will be the opposite (negation) of those in the original figure. This means that if the original figure has an x-coordinate of +3, the reflection will have an x-coordinate of -3.
On the other hand, the y-coordinates of the vertices in the reflection will remain the same as those in the original figure. This means that if the original figure has a y-coordinate of +2, the reflection will also have a y-coordinate of +2.
Therefore, option B accurately describes the relationship between the original figure and its reflection across the y-axis.
