A line through W parallel to the y-axis keeps the x-coordinate constant at –5. Thus, H will have coordinates (–5, y). H can lie in Quadrant II (if y > 0) or Quadrant III (if y < 0).

The point where the horizontal x-axis and the vertical y-axis intersect is called the origin. At this specific central location, both the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate are exactly zero, denoted as (0, 0).
The general observations remain the same, but the specific changes swap. The x-coordinates would stay the same, while the y-coordinates would change their signs. The triangle would flip vertically instead of horizontally.
Yes, by using the Baudhāyana-Pythagoras Theorem. The distance AD is the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle. AD = square root of (4 squared plus 3 squared), which equals 5 units.
In a reflection across an axis, the shape, size and the coordinate corresponding to that axis remain the same. However, the sign of the other coordinate and the orientation (right-to-left) change.
