Reflecting shapes across the x axis and the y axis

Maths

Transformations

The x axis cannot be a line of reflection

When shapes are reflected some of the coordinates can change

Which of the following statements is NOT correct?

Both the x and y coordinates of the reflected shapes must change

Both the x and y coordinates of the reflected shapes must stay the same

The x coordinate will definitely stay the same

The y coordinate will definitely stay the same

If we are reflecting a shape onto the x axis then which of the following is correct?

If we are reflecting a shape onto the y axis then which of the following statements is correct?

A triangle with the coordinates (-5,6), (-5,7) and (-4,7) is reflected by a line of reflection along the y axis, which of the below are the correct reflected coordinates?

A point with coordinates (-4,0) is reflected by a line of reflection along the x axis, what would its new reflected coordinates be?

The line of reflection can sometimes be horizontal or vertical

The line of reflection is always horizontal

The line of reflection is always parallel with the x axis

The line of reflection is always vertical

Which of the following statements is correct?

Both the x and y coordinates of the reflected shapes will change

Both the x and y coordinates of the reflected shapes will stay the same

If we are reflecting a shape onto a vertical line of symmetry then which of the following statements is correct?

If we are reflecting a shape onto a horizontal line of symmetry then which of the following statements is correct?

If a shape is reflected across a horizontal line of reflection and one of the vertices of this shape with the co-ordinate (-4,6) is just 2 squares away from the line of reflection what would it's reflected coordinate be?

If a square is reflected across a horizontal line of symmetry where  A (-6,7) reflects to ( -6,1) and B(-3,7) reflects to (-3,1), what are the reflected points of C and D?
