Question

question
point b is located at (-2, -4) on the coordinate plane. point b is reflected over the x - axis to create point b. what ordered pair describes the location of b?
answer attempt 1 out of 2
b( , )

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 B

Given point $B(-2,-4)$, for the $x$-coordinate of $B'$, $x=-2$ (remains the same). For the $y$-coordinate of $B'$, since the original $y = - 4$, the new $y= -(-4)=4$.

Answer:

$B'(-2,4)$
