Reflection Across the X-Axis and Y-Axis

In coordinate geometry, reflection is a transformation that flips a figure over a specific line,
such as the x-axis or y-axis. Below are the rules and formulas for reflections.

1. Reflection Across the X-Axis


When a point (x, y) is reflected across the x-axis, the x-coordinate remains the same, but the
y-coordinate changes sign.

Formula: (x, y) → (x, -y)

Example: If a point A(3, 5) is reflected across the x-axis, its new coordinates will be A'(3, -5).

2. Reflection Across the Y-Axis


When a point (x, y) is reflected across the y-axis, the y-coordinate remains the same, but the
x-coordinate changes sign.

Formula: (x, y) → (-x, y)

Example: If a point B(4, -2) is reflected across the y-axis, its new coordinates will be B'(-4, -
2).

Practice Problems
1. Reflect the point (6, -3) across the x-axis.

2. Reflect the point (-5, 7) across the y-axis.

3. Reflect the point (2, 4) across the x-axis.

4. Reflect the point (-8, -6) across the y-axis.

5. Given triangle ABC with A(1,2), B(3,4), and C(5,6), find its reflection across the x-axis.
