Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
What are the coordinates of the point (3, -5) after it is reflected across the y-axis?
[2 marks]
2.
Calculate the new coordinates of the point (-7, 2) after reflection over the y-axis.
[3 marks]
3.
Plot the point (4, -3) on the grid, then reflect it across the y-axis. Write the new coordinates.
[3 marks]
4.
If a drone moves from coordinate (6, 1) to its reflection point across the y-axis, what are its new coordinates?
[2 marks]
5.
Explain in your own words what happens to the x-coordinate when a point is reflected across the y-axis.
[3 marks]
6.
Construct a triangle with vertices at (2, 4), (5, 1), and (3, 3). Reflect the triangle across the y-axis and list the new vertices.
[4 marks]
7.
A map shows a location at (8, -2). After reflecting the map across the y-axis, what is the new location?
[2 marks]
8.
A robot at (–4, 7) performs a reflection across the y-axis. What are its new coordinates? Show your working.
[3 marks]
9.
A construction worker marks a point at (–9, 5) on a coordinate plane. They need to reflect the point across the y-axis. What point do they mark?
[2 marks]
10.
Identify the common mistake in transforming the point (3, –2) to (3, 2) when reflecting across the y-axis. How should it be correctly reflected?
[3 marks]
11.
For the point (–10, 0), reflect it across the y-axis and describe the resulting point.
[2 marks]
