Question

point g is located at (5, -1) on the coordinate plane. point g is reflected over the x - axis to create point g. what ordered pair describes the location of g? answer attempt 1 out of 2 g( , )

Explanation:

Step1: Recall reflection rule over x - axis

When a point \((x,y)\) is reflected over the \(x\) - axis, the rule is \((x,y)\to(x, - y)\).

Step2: Apply the rule to point \(G(5,-1)\)

For point \(G(5,-1)\), here \(x = 5\) and \(y=-1\). After reflection over the \(x\) - axis, the \(x\) - coordinate remains the same, and the \(y\) - coordinate changes its sign. So, \(y=-(-1)=1\).

Answer:

\((5,1)\)
