Question

The point $(3,2)$ is reflected in the y-axis and then moved a distance of 5 units towards the negative side of y-axis. The coordinates of the point thus obtained are

• A. $(3,-3)$
• B. $(-3,3)$
• C. $(3,3)$
• D. $(-3,-3)$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $(-3,-3)$

The reflection of the point $A(3,2)$ in y-axis is $B(-3,2)$.

The point $B$ is moved a distance of 5 units towards the negative direction of y-axis. So, the coordinates of this point are $(-3,2-5)=(-3,-3)$
