Plotting and Reflecting Points on the Coordinate Plane

🎬 Video Tutorial

(0:01) What is a Coordinate Plane?: The coordinate plane has two perpendicular axes, the x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical), intersecting at the origin (0,0).
(0:34) Plotting Points on a Graph (Example): To plot a point like (2,1), locate 2 on the x-axis and 1 on the y-axis, then mark the intersection.
(2:00) Reflecting Points on a Coordinate Plane: Reflecting over the y-axis changes the x-coordinate’s sign. Reflecting over the x-axis changes the y-coordinate’s sign. Reflecting over the origin changes both signs.
(3:06) How to Reflect Shapes on a Coordinate Grid: To reflect a shape, reflect each vertex (point) over the desired axis, then connect the points to form the mirrored shape.
