Question

the point p(6, -3) is reflected over the x - axis. what are the coordinates of the resulting point, p?

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 the rule to point P

Given point $P(6,-3)$, after reflection over the $x - axis$, the $x$-coordinate of $P'$ is $x = 6$ and the $y$-coordinate of $P'$ is $y=-(-3)=3$.

Answer:

$(6,3)$
