Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Reflect the point (3, -5) over the line y = -x. What are the new coordinates?
[2 marks]
2.
What is the reflection of the point (-2, 4) over y = -x?
[2 marks]
3.
Plot the point (1, -3) and reflect it over y = -x on the grid.
[2 marks]
4.
A triangle has vertices at (2, 3), (4, -1), and (0, 0). Reflect all vertices over y = -x and list the new coordinates.
[4 marks]
5.
Explain the process of swapping and negating coordinates when reflecting a point over y = -x.
[3 marks]
6.
If a point is initially at (7, -2), what is its reflection over y = -x? Show your working.
[3 marks]
7.
A real-world scenario: A drone is flying at coordinates (5, -4). It needs to move to a position that is the reflection over y = -x. What are the new coordinates?
[3 marks]
8.
Construct a triangle with vertices at (1, 2), (3, -1), and (-2, 4). Reflect it over y = -x and record the new vertices. Then, explain how the swapping and negation process was applied.
[4 marks]
9.
Identify and correct the mistake in this reflection process: Reflect (2, -3) over y = -x by simply negating both coordinates.
[3 marks]
10.
A complex shape is reflected over y = -x. The original shape has vertices at (6, -2), (-4, 5), and (0, 0). List the reflected vertices and describe the overall transformation.
[4 marks]
