Reflect A Point Over One Axis Given Coordinates Worksheet

8 problems

In 8th Grade 8, students learn about reflection and other types of transformations such as translation, rotation, and dilation. Teachers can provide “Reflect a point over one axis given coordinates worksheet” to help their students to understand reflection over axes. In this worksheet, the coordinate of a point are given and students are asked to find the coordinate of the point after reflecting the given point over the x-axis or y-axis.

To solve this worksheet students should have a good understanding of reflection. If a point is reflecting over the x-axis then the reflection rule is (x,y)→(x,-y), and if a point is reflecting over the y-axis then the reflection rule is (x,y)→(-x,y). For example, if the coordinates of a point are (4,5) and it is reflecting over the y-axis then its image will be on the opposite side of the y-axis and equidistance from y-axis. Therefore, the coordinates of the image are (-4,5).
