Apoint with a positive x-coordinate and a negative y-coordinate is reflected over the y-axis. which sentence describes the coordinates of the new point?

The sentence that describes the reflected point (x,-y) over the y-axis is:

''a point with a negative x-coordinate and a negative y-coordinate''

Step-by-step explanation:

Since not sure if specific options are available lets answer this question in a general notation.

Let us consider the Co-ordinate system in two dimensions (i.e. and ); where the horizontal line represents the values and the vertical line representes the values.

Now we are told that we have a point with a positive x-coordinate and a negative y-coordinate, thus:

This means our point is located at the 4th Quadrant (where values are positive and values are negative).

Reflecting it over the y-axis means that our point is now located on the 3rd Quadrant (where both and values are negative).

Therefore the new reflected point will now be:

which in sentence form can read as:

''a point with a negative x-coordinate and a negative y-coordinate''

a=24; b=12

step-by-step explanation:

a/b=2: 1

a=2b

36/(1+2)=12

b=12

a=24
