Identify corresponding vertices of Figure P and Figure Q

\[

$$\begin{aligned} A_P(-4, 5) & ightarrow A_Q(-4, -5) \\ B_P(-3, 2) & ightarrow B_Q(-3, -2) \\ C_P(-4, 0.5) & ightarrow C_Q(-4, -0.5) \\ D_P(0, 0) & ightarrow D_Q(0, 0) \\ E_P(0, 1) & ightarrow E_Q(0, -1) \end{aligned}$$

\]

Analyze coordinate transformation rule

\[
(x, y)
ightarrow (x, -y)
\]

Determine the geometric transformation

The mapping \((x, y)
ightarrow (x, -y)\) represents a reflection across the x-axis.

<answer>
A reflection across the x-axis.
