Sample practice questions
Easy
1. Reflect the point (3,5) in the x-axis.
Answer: (3, -5) — Reflecting in the x-axis: (x,y) -> (x,-y). So (3,5) -> (3,-5).
Easy
2. Reflect the point (3,5) in the y-axis.
Answer: (-3, 5) — Reflecting in the y-axis: (x,y) -> (-x,y). So (3,5) -> (-3,5).
Medium
3. Reflect the point (−4,2) in the x-axis.
Answer: (-4, -2) — Reflecting in the x-axis: (x,y) -> (x,-y). So (-4,2) -> (-4,-2).
