Question

point k is located at (4, -3) on the coordinate plane. point k is reflected over the x-axis to create point k. what ordered pair describes the location of k?
answer attempt 1 out of 3
k ( , )

Explanation:

Step1: Recall reflection over x - axis rule

When a point \((x,y)\) is reflected over the \(x\) - axis, the \(x\) - coordinate remains the same, and the \(y\) - coordinate changes its sign. The rule is \((x,y)\to(x, - y)\).

Step2: Apply the rule to point \(K(4,-3)\)

For point \(K(4,-3)\), the \(x\) - coordinate \(x = 4\) will stay the same. The \(y\) - coordinate \(y=-3\), when we change its sign, we get \(-y=-(-3) = 3\). So the coordinates of \(K'\) are \((4,3)\).

Answer:

\(K'(4, 3)\)
