Question

what are the coordinates of point q? (?,?)

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the x - coordinate

The x - coordinate of a point is determined by its horizontal position. Point \(P(5,15)\) and point \(Q\) have the same x - value since they are vertically aligned. So the x - coordinate of \(Q\) is \(5\).

Step2: Determine the y - coordinate

The y - coordinate of a point is determined by its vertical position. The distance from the x - axis for \(P\) is \(15\) (positive y - direction) and for \(Q\), since it is symmetric in the y - axis (opposite in sign) and assuming the same distance from the x - axis (by visual alignment in the coordinate system), the y - coordinate of \(Q\) is \(- 15\).

Answer:

\((5,-15)\)
