Reflect Over X-Axis Calculator
What is Reflect Over X-Axis Calculator?
Based on the inputted coordinates, the Reflect Over X-Axis Calculator calculates the reflected point over the x-axis. Using a mathematical formula, this calculator calculates the new point and provides the user with the results. For students and professionals who need to reflect points in mathematical or design problems, this calculator is useful.
Formula for Reflecting Over X-Axis
The formula for reflecting a point (x, y) over the x-axis is as follows:
(x, y) -> (x, -y)
This formula simply negates the y-coordinate of the point and keeps the x-coordinate the same. The resulting point will be the reflection of the original point over the x-axis.
Example of Using the Formula
Suppose we have a point (3, 5) that we want to reflect over the x-axis. Applying the formula, we get:
(3, 5) -> (3, -5)
Therefore, the reflected point over the x-axis is (3, -5).
How to Use the Reflect Over X-Axis Calculator
To use the Reflect Over X-Axis Calculator, simply input the x and y coordinates of the point you want to reflect over the x-axis into the corresponding input fields. Then, click the “Calculate” button to compute the reflected point. The resulting x and y coordinates of the reflected point will be displayed in the output fields.
FAQs
What is the formula for reflecting a point over the x-axis?
