Question

the point g is plotted on the coordinate grid below. plot the point g, the reflection of g over the x - axis. click on the graph to plot a point. click a point to delete it.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall reflection rule

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

Step2: Identify coordinates of G

Assume the coordinates of point $G$ are $(x_0,y_0)$. From the graph, if we assume $G$ has coordinates $(2,-5)$ (since it is 2 units to the right of the $y - axis$ and 5 units below the $x - axis$).

Step3: Apply reflection rule

Using the rule $(x,y)\to(x, - y)$, for point $G(2,-5)$, the reflection $G'$ has coordinates $(2,5)$.

Answer:

The coordinates of $G'$ are $(2,5)$.
