Question

question point u is located at (-4, -5) on the coordinate plane. point u is reflected over the x - axis to create point u. what ordered pair describes the location of u? answer attempt 2 out of 2 u ( , )

Explanation:

Step1: Recall reflection 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.

Step2: Apply rule to point $U$

Given point $U(-4,-5)$, for the $x$-coordinate of $U'$, it is $x=-4$ (unchanged). For the $y$-coordinate of $U'$, since the $y$-coordinate of $U$ is $- 5$, after reflection over the $x$-axis, it becomes $y = 5$.

Answer:

$U'(-4,5)$
