Question

reflect △jkl across the x-axis. how far should point j be from the x-axis? ? units

Explanation:

Step1: Determine distance of J from x-axis

Point J is at a y - coordinate (distance from x - axis) of 3 units (by counting grid squares from x - axis to J).

Step2: Apply reflection property

When reflecting across the x - axis, the distance from the x - axis of a point and its image (J') remains the same. So the distance of J' from the x - axis is equal to the distance of J from the x - axis.
