Reflect Points Across Axes · Reflection
- Reflection across x-axis (horizontal line): y-coordinate changes sign, x stays same
- Reflection across y-axis (vertical line): x-coordinate changes sign, y stays same
- Both coordinates change sign when reflecting across both axes: (−x, −y)
- Reflect Points Across Axes (Reflejar puntos sobre los ejes) — Flip a point across an axis so it stays the same perpendicular distance from that axis.
- Reflection (Reflexión) — A flipped, mirror image across a line.
- x-axis (Eje x) — The line that goes across the grid. Flipping over it changes the y sign.
- y-axis (Eje y) — The line that goes up the grid. Flipping over it changes the x sign.
- Symmetry (Simetría) — When a shape looks the same on both sides of a line.
- Integer (Número entero) — Whole numbers and their opposites, like -2, -1, 0, 1, 2.
- A common mistake in Reflect Points Across Axes is flipping the sign of the wrong coordinate — changing the x-coordinate when reflecting over the x-axis, instead of the y-coordinate (or vice versa for the y-axis). For example, to reflect (3, -5) over the x-axis, a student might flip the x-coordinate and write (-3, -5), but reflecting over the x-axis only changes the sign of the y-coordinate: (3, -5) becomes (3, 5). Before you submit, ask: 'Did I flip the sign of the coordinate that matches the axis I'm reflecting over — y for the x-axis, x for the y-axis?'
