Answer
(ii) When a point is reflected in x-axis, the sign of its y-coordinate changes.
Reflection of (-4, 3) in x-axis = (-4, -3).
(iii) When a point is reflected in origin, the sign of its x-coordinate(abscissa) and y-coordinate (ordinate) both changes.
Reflection of (-4, -3) in axis = (4, 3).
(iv) When a point is reflected in x-axis, the sign of its y-co-ordinate (ordinate) changes.
Or
When a point is reflected in origin, the sign of its x-coordinate(abscissa) and y-coordinate (ordinate) both changes.
Reflection of (0, -7) in x-axis or origin = (0, 7).
(vi) When a point is reflected in origin, the sign of its x-coordinate(abscissa) and y-coordinate (ordinate) both changes.
Or
When a point P(x, y) is rotated through 180°, about the origin O, we get the point P' = (-x, -y).
Rotation through 180° about origin or reflection in origin of (-3, 2) = (3, -2).
(vii) When a point P(x, y) is rotated through 90° (anticlockwise) about the origin O, we get the point P' = (-y, x).
Rotation through 90° about origin in the anticlockwise direction of (5, 8) = (-8, 5).
(viii) When a point P(x, y) is rotated 90° (clockwise) about the origin O, we get the point P' = (y, -x).
Reflection of (-7, 4) in y-axis = (4, 7).
(ix) When a point P(x, y) is rotated through 90° (clockwise) about the origin O, we get the point P' = (y, -x).
Reflection of (8, 0) in y-axis = (0, -8).
(x) When a point is reflected in origin, the sign of its x-co-ordinate(abscissa) and y-coordinate (ordinate) both changes.
Or
When a point P(x, y) is rotated through 180°, about the origin O, we get the point P' = (-x, -y).
Rotation through 180° about origin or reflection in origin of (3, -2) = (-3, 2).

| (vii) (5, 8) | (-8, 5) | Rotation through 90° about origin in the anticlockwise direction |
| (viii) (-7, 4) | (4, 7) | Rotation through 90° about origin in the clockwise direction |
| (ix) (8, 0) | (0, -8) | Rotation through 90° about origin in the clockwise direction |
| (x) (3, -2) | (-3, 2) | Rotation through 180° about origin or reflection in origin |
