Sample questions (3 of 16)

  1. Question 1

    Reflection in the x-axis sends (3, 5) to...

    • A) (3, -5)
    • B) (-3, 5)
    • C) (-3, -5)
    • D) (5, 3)
    Show answer

    Answer: (3, -5)

    Reflection in x-axis: (x, y) -> (x, -y). So (3, 5) -> (3, -5).

  2. Question 2

    Reflection in the y-axis sends (4, 2) to...

    • A) (-4, 2)
    • B) (4, -2)
    • C) (-4, -2)
    • D) (2, 4)
    Show answer

    Answer: (-4, 2)

    Reflection in y-axis: (x, y) -> (-x, y). So (4, 2) -> (-4, 2).

  3. Question 3

    Translation by vector (3, -2) sends (1, 5) to...

    • A) (4, 3)
    • B) (-2, 7)
    • C) (4, 7)
    • D) (-2, 3)
    Show answer

    Answer: (4, 3)

    Translation: add the vector components to the coordinates. (1, 5) + (3, -2) = (4, 3).
