Rule for reflection over the y - axis,
( x , y ) ==> ( - x , y )
Rule for reflection over the x - axis,
( x , y ) ==> ( x , - y )
~~
Reflection over the y - axis,
A = ( 2 , 3 ) ==> A' ( - 2 , 3 )
B = ( 4 , 1 ) ==> B' ( - 4 , 1 )
C = ( 6 , 2 ) ==> C' ( - 6 , 2 )
D = ( 3 , 5 ) ==> D' ( - 3 , 5 )
Reflection over the x - axis,
A' ( - 2 , 3 ) ==> A'' ( - 2 , - 3 )
B' ( - 4 , 1 ) ==> B'' ( - 4 , - 1 )
C' ( - 6 , 2 ) ==> C'' ( - 6 , - 2 )
D' ( - 3 , 5 ) ==> D'' ( - 3 , - 5 )
~~
Another way to solve,
Reflection over the y - axis : Count the units away from the y - axis and then move that same amount pass the y - axis to reflect over the y - axis.
Reflection over the x - axis : Do the same for the x - axis yet count the units away from the x - axis and go that amount pass the x - axis.
