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).
