Point J has the coordinates (-5, 6). What are the coordinates of its
image if it is reflected in the y-axis?
A) (5, -6)
B) (5, 6) (Correct Answer)
C) (-5, 6)
D) (-6, 5)
Explanation:
When a point is reflected over the y-axis, the x-coordinate switches to its opposite. The y-coordinate does not change. Therefore, the image of (-5, 6) would be (5, 6).
