Question

l is the image of the point l after a reflection. l(-10, 8) → l(-10, -8) over which axis was point l reflected? x-axis y-axis

Explanation:

Step1: Recall reflection rules

For reflection over x - axis: If a point \((x,y)\) is reflected over the x - axis, the image is \((x, -y)\). For reflection over y - axis: If a point \((x,y)\) is reflected over the y - axis, the image is \((-x,y)\).

Step2: Analyze the given points

The original point \(L(- 10,8)\) and its image \(L'(-10,-8)\). Here, the x - coordinate remains the same (\(-10\) in both \(L\) and \(L'\)) and the y - coordinate changes from \(8\) to \(-8\) (which is \(y\) to \(-y\) where \(y = 8\)).

Answer:

x - axis
