Question

  1. what happens to the coordinates of a point when reflected over the x-axis? (-x,-y) (x,-y) (-x,y) (x,y)

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

When reflecting a point \((x,y)\) over the \(x -\)axis, the \(x -\)coordinate remains the same because the reflection is across the \(x -\)axis (horizontal axis). The \(y -\)coordinate changes its sign. For example, if we have a point \((2,3)\) and reflect it over the \(x -\)axis, the new point is \((2,- 3)\).

Answer:

\((x,-y)\)
