The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine which axis the point P (0, 5) remains unchanged when reflected across it. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the Coordinates of Point P**: - The coordinates of point P are given as (0, 5). 2. **Understand Invariance**: - A point is said to be invariant when it does not change its position after being reflected across a certain axis. 3. **Consider Reflection Across the Y-Axis**: - When reflecting a point across the y-axis, the x-coordinate changes sign while the y-coordinate remains the same. - For point P (0, 5), reflecting it across the y-axis: - New coordinates = (-x, y) = (-0, 5) = (0, 5). - Since the coordinates remain (0, 5), point P is invariant when reflected across the y-axis. 4. **Consider Reflection Across the X-Axis**: - When reflecting a point across the x-axis, the y-coordinate changes sign while the x-coordinate remains the same. - For point P (0, 5), reflecting it across the x-axis: - New coordinates = (x, -y) = (0, -5). - The coordinates change to (0, -5), so point P is not invariant when reflected across the x-axis. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since point P (0, 5) remains unchanged only when reflected across the y-axis, we conclude that the required axis is the y-axis. ### Final Answer: The axis across which point P is invariant is the **y-axis**. ---
