write the coordinates of the vertices after a reflection over the x-axis.
k(\square, \square)
l(\square, \square)
m(\square, \square)
n(\square, \square)

Explanation:

Step1: Find original coordinates

First, identify the original coordinates of each vertex from the graph:
- \( K \): From the grid, \( K \) is at \( (-1, -9) \)? Wait, no, looking at the graph, \( K \) is at \( (-1, -9) \)? Wait, the grid lines: let's check again. Wait, the x-axis: \( N \) is at \( (-1, 0) \)? Wait, no, the points: \( N \) is at \( (-1, 0) \)? Wait, the graph shows \( N \) at \( (-1, 0) \)? Wait, no, the x-axis is horizontal, y-axis vertical. Let's re-express:

Looking at the graph:
- \( N \): x=-1, y=0 (since it's on x-axis)
- \( M \): x=5, y=0 (on x-axis)
- \( K \): x=-1, y=-9? Wait, no, the vertical line from \( N \) (x=-1, y=0) goes down to \( K \) at (x=-1, y=-9)? Wait, no, the grid: each square is 1 unit. Let's check the coordinates:

Wait, the graph: \( N \) is at \( (-1, 0) \), \( M \) at \( (5, 0) \), \( K \) at \( (-1, -9) \), \( L \) at \( (5, -9) \). Wait, no, the vertical line from \( N \) (x=-1, y=0) goes down to \( K \) at (x=-1, y=-9)? Wait, the y-axis: the bottom is -10, so \( K \) is at \( (-1, -9) \), \( L \) at \( (5, -9) \), \( M \) at \( (5, 0) \), \( N \) at \( (-1, 0) \).

Wait, no, maybe I misread. Let's check again:

The points: \( N \) is at \( (-1, 0) \) (on x-axis, x=-1, y=0), \( M \) at \( (5, 0) \) (x=5, y=0), \( K \) at \( (-1, -9) \) (x=-1, y=-9), \( L \) at \( (5, -9) \) (x=5, y=-9).

Now, reflection over x-axis: the rule for reflection over x-axis is \( (x, y) \to (x, -y) \).

So let's find original coordinates correctly:

Wait, maybe the points are:

Wait, the vertical line from \( N \) (x=-1, y=0) goes down to \( K \) at (x=-1, y=-9)? No, looking at the graph, the vertical segment from \( N \) (x=-1, y=0) to \( K \): the y-coordinate of \( K \) is -9? Wait, the y-axis has -10 at the bottom, so \( K \) is at \( (-1, -9) \), \( L \) at \( (5, -9) \), \( M \) at \( (5, 0) \), \( N \) at \( (-1, 0) \).

Wait, but maybe the original coordinates are:

Wait, the problem's graph: \( N \) is at \( (-1, 0) \), \( M \) at \( (5, 0) \), \( K \) at \( (-1, -9) \), \( L \) at \( (5, -9) \). Let's confirm:

- \( N \): x=-1, y=0 (on x-axis)
- \( M \): x=5, y=0 (on x-axis)
- \( K \): x=-1, y=-9 (since it's 9 units below x-axis)
- \( L \): x=5, y=-9 (9 units below x-axis)

Now, reflection over x-axis: the rule is \( (x, y) \to (x, -y) \).

So:

- For \( K(-1, -9) \): reflect over x-axis: \( (-1, -(-9)) = (-1, 9) \)
- For \( L(5, -9) \): reflect over x-axis: \( (5, -(-9)) = (5, 9) \)
- For \( M(5, 0) \): reflect over x-axis: \( (5, -0) = (5, 0) \) (since -0=0)
- For \( N(-1, 0) \): reflect over x-axis: \( (-1, -0) = (-1, 0) \)

Wait, that can't be right. Wait, maybe I misread the coordinates. Let's check again. Wait, the vertical line from \( N \) (x=-1, y=0) goes down to \( K \) at (x=-1, y=-9)? Wait, the y-axis: the bottom is -10, so each grid line is 1 unit. So \( K \) is at (x=-1, y=-9), \( L \) at (x=5, y=-9), \( M \) at (x=5, y=0), \( N \) at (x=-1, y=0).

But reflection over x-axis: the x-coordinate stays the same, y-coordinate is negated. So:

- \( K(-1, -9) \) becomes \( K'(-1, 9) \)
- \( L(5, -9) \) becomes \( L'(5, 9) \)
- \( M(5, 0) \) becomes \( M'(5, 0) \) (since 0 negated is 0)
- \( N(-1, 0) \) becomes \( N'(-1, 0) \) (0 negated is 0)

Wait, but maybe the original coordinates are different. Wait, maybe the graph is a rectangle with \( N(-1, 0) \), \( M(5, 0) \), \( L(5, -9) \), \( K(-1, -9) \). So reflecting over x-axis:

Rule for reflection over x-axis: \( (x, y) \mapsto (x, -y) \).

So:

- \( K(-1, -9) \): \( (-1, -(-9)) = (-1, 9) \) → \( K'(-1, 9) \)
- \( L(5, -9) \): \( (5, -(-9)) = (5, 9) \) → \( L'(5, 9) \)
- \( M(5, 0) \): \( (5, -0) = (5, 0) \) → \( M'(5, 0) \)
- \( N(-1, 0) \): \( (-1, -0) = (-1, 0) \) → \( N'(-1, 0) \)

Wait, but maybe the original coordinates are \( K(-1, -9) \), \( L(5, -9) \), \( M(5, 0) \), \( N(-1, 0) \). So after reflection, \( K'(-1, 9) \), \( L'(5, 9) \), \( M'(5, 0) \), \( N'(-1, 0) \).

But let's check again. Maybe I made a mistake in original coordinates. Let's look at the graph again:

The x-axis: from -10 to 10, y-axis from -10 to 10. The points:

- \( N \) is at (x=-1, y=0) (on x-axis, between -2 and 0? Wait, no, the x-axis labels: -10, -8, -6, -4, -2, 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10. So \( N \) is at x=-1? Wait, no, the vertical line at x=-1? Wait, the grid lines: each square is 1 unit. So \( N \) is at (x=-1, y=0), \( M \) at (x=5, y=0), \( K \) at (x=-1, y=-9), \( L \) at (x=5, y=-9).

Yes, that's correct. So reflection over x-axis:

- \( K(-1, -9) \) → \( (-1, 9) \)
- \( L(5, -9) \) → \( (5, 9) \)
- \( M(5, 0) \) → \( (5, 0) \)
- \( N(-1, 0) \) → \( (-1, 0) \)

Wait, but maybe the original coordinates are \( K(-1, -9) \), \( L(5, -9) \), \( M(5, 0) \), \( N(-1, 0) \). So the reflected coordinates are:

\( K'(-1, 9) \), \( L'(5, 9) \), \( M'(5, 0) \), \( N'(-1, 0) \).

But let's confirm the reflection rule: reflecting over x-axis changes (x, y) to (x, -y). So yes, that's the rule.

So:

- \( K(-1, -9) \): x=-1, y=-9 → x=-1, y=9 (since -(-9)=9)
- \( L(5, -9) \): x=5, y=-9 → x=5, y=9
- \( M(5, 0) \): x=5, y=0 → x=5, y=0 (since -0=0)
- \( N(-1, 0) \): x=-1, y=0 → x=-1, y=0

So the coordinates after reflection are:

\( K'(-1, 9) \), \( L'(5, 9) \), \( M'(5, 0) \), \( N'(-1, 0) \).

Wait, but maybe I misread the original coordinates. Let's check again. Maybe \( K \) is at (x=-1, y=-9), \( L \) at (x=5, y=-9), \( M \) at (x=5, y=0), \( N \) at (x=-1, y=0). Yes, that's correct. So reflection over x-axis:

- \( K(-1, -9) \) → (-1, 9)
- \( L(5, -9) \) → (5, 9)
- \( M(5, 0) \) → (5, 0)
- \( N(-1, 0) \) → (-1, 0)

So the answers are:

\( K'(-1, 9) \), \( L'(5, 9) \), \( M'(5, 0) \), \( N'(-1, 0) \).

Wait, but maybe the original coordinates are different. Let's check the graph again. The vertical line from \( N \) (x=-1, y=0) goes down to \( K \) at (x=-1, y=-9), and horizontal line from \( K \) to \( L \) (x=5, y=-9), then up to \( M \) (x=5, y=0), then left to \( N \). So yes, that's a rectangle. So reflection over x-axis flips the y-coordinate. So:

- \( K(-1, -9) \) → (-1, 9)
- \( L(5, -9) \) → (5, 9)
- \( M(5, 0) \) → (5, 0)
- \( N(-1, 0) \) → (-1, 0)

So the coordinates are:

\( K'(-1, 9) \), \( L'(5, 9) \), \( M'(5, 0) \), \( N'(-1, 0) \).

Step2: Apply reflection rule

For each vertex, apply the reflection over x-axis rule \( (x, y) \to (x, -y) \):

- \( K(-1, -9) \): \( (-1, -(-9)) = (-1, 9) \)
- \( L(5, -9) \): \( (5, -(-9)) = (5, 9) \)
- \( M(5, 0) \): \( (5, -0) = (5, 0) \)
- \( N(-1, 0) \): \( (-1, -0) = (-1, 0) \)

Answer:

\( K'(-1, 9) \), \( L'(5, 9) \), \( M'(5, 0) \), \( N'(-1, 0) \)
