If point $P$ on the unit circle is flipped over the $y$-axis, what will be the coordinates of point $P$ if it initially lies on the point $(frac{sqrt{3}}{2}, frac{1}{2})$?

Answer 1

Abigail Nelson

Mia Harris

Initial coordinates of point $P$ are $(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, \frac{1}{2})$. When flipped over the $y$-axis, the x-coordinate becomes its negative value while the y-coordinate remains the same. Therefore, the new coordinates of point $P$ are:

$(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, \frac{1}{2})$

Answer 2

Alex Thompson

Matthew Carter

Given point $P$ initial coordinates $(frac{sqrt{3}}{2}, frac{1}{2})$. Flipping this point over the $y$-axis means changing the sign of the x-coordinate while keeping the y-coordinate unchanged. Thus, the new coordinates are:

$(-frac{sqrt{3}}{2}, frac{1}{2})$

Answer 3

Amelia Mitchell

Charlotte Davis

For point $P$ with coordinates $(frac{sqrt{3}}{2}, frac{1}{2})$, flipping over the $y$-axis results in coordinates:

$(-frac{sqrt{3}}{2}, frac{1}{2})$
