Solution
- The transformation for reflection over the y-axis is given below:
[tex](x,y)\to(-x,y)[/tex]
- We have been given the coordinate of B to be (-5, -2) as shown below:
- Thus, applying the transformation formula given above, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} (x,y)\to(-x,y) \\ (-5,-2)\to(-(-5),-2)=(5,-2) \end{gathered}[/tex]
- Thus, the reflected point B' is
[tex](5,-2)[/tex]
- This is shown below:
