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).
-
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).

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).
