What will be the reflection of point (2, 3) in the second quadrant? Option 1: (-2, 3) Option 2: (2, -3) Option 3: (-2, -3) Option 4: (3, 2)

Answer: (-2, 3). Solution: The point (2, 3) is in the first quadrant where both coordinates are positive. To reflect a point to the second quadrant, reflect across the y-axis. When reflecting across the y-axis: - The x-coordinate changes sign - The y-coordinate remains the same Original point: (2, 3) After reflection across the y-axis: - x-coordinate: 2 -2 - y-coordinate: 3 3 Reflected point: (-2, 3) The point (-2, 3) has a negative x-coordinate and positive y-coordinate, placing it in the second quadrant. Therefore, the reflection of point (2, 3) in the second quadrant is (-2, 3).

What will be the reflection of point (2, 3) in the second quadrant?

(-2, 3)

(2, -3)

(-2, -3)

(3, 2)

✅ Correct Option: 1

The point (2, 3) is in the first quadrant where both coordinates are positive.

To reflect a point to the second quadrant, reflect across the y-axis.

When reflecting across the y-axis:

The x-coordinate changes sign
The y-coordinate remains the same

Original point: (2, 3)

After reflection across the y-axis:

x-coordinate: $2 \to -2$
y-coordinate: $3 \to 3$

Reflected point: (-2, 3)

The point (-2, 3) has a negative x-coordinate and positive y-coordinate, placing it in the second quadrant.

Therefore, the reflection of point (2, 3) in the second quadrant is (-2, 3).
