How do we solve problems using reflections?

A reflection also called a flip show a flipped image of a geometric figure over a line of symmetry on a coordinated plane


EX: If the figure is reflected on the x-axis the y value in the point will go to its negative reciprocal.
      If the figure is reflected on the y-axis the x value in the point will go to its negative reciprocal.
  

Practice Questions:
1) If point A is plotted on coordinates (4,5) what is its reflected image over the x-axis?

  1. (4,5)
  2. (4,-5)
  3. (-4,5)
  4. (-4,-5)
