About this worksheet

Reflecting across the x-axis changes the sign of y; across the y-axis changes the sign of x; across y = x swaps the two coordinates. (3, −2) across the y-axis becomes (−3, −2).

Teaching tip

Have students sketch two or three problems on graph paper first, then look for the rule before using it.
