The correct Answer is:
To find the image of point Q on reflection in the y-axis, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the coordinates of point Q The coordinates of point Q are given as (-2, 4). ### Step 2: Understand the reflection in the y-axis When a point (x, y) is reflected in the y-axis, its x-coordinate changes sign while the y-coordinate remains the same. Therefore, the image of point Q will have coordinates (x', y) where x' = -x and y remains the same. ### Step 3: Apply the reflection rule to point Q For point Q with coordinates (-2, 4): - The x-coordinate is -2. When we reflect it in the y-axis, we change the sign: x' = -(-2) = 2. - The y-coordinate remains the same: y = 4. ### Step 4: Write the coordinates of the image of Q After reflection, the coordinates of the image of Q will be (2, 4). ### Final Answer The image of point Q on reflection in the y-axis is (2, 4). ---
