Reflections in the coordinate plane: When you reflect a point across the x-axis, the x-coordinate remains the same, but the y-coordinate is transformed into its opposite (its sign is changed).
Finally, if we reflect (a, b) through the origin, then it is reflected to the third quadrant point (âa, âb). The distance from the origin to (a, b) is equal to the distance from the origin to (âa, âb). Example 1. Fig. 1 is the graph of the parabola. f(x) = x2 â 2x â 3 = (x + 1)(x â 3). The roots â1, 3 are the x-intercepts. Fig. 2 is its reflection about the x-axis. Every point that was above the x-axis gets reflected to below the x-axis. And every point below the x-axis gets reflected above the x-axis.
