Question

point u is located at (-4, -5) on the coordinate plane. point u is reflected over the x - axis to create point u. what ordered pair describes the location of u?

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 U

Given point $U(-4,- 5)$. After reflection over the $x$-axis, the $x$-coordinate is $x=-4$ and the new $y$-coordinate is $y = -(-5)=5$. So the new point $U'$ is $(-4,5)$.

Answer:

$(-4,5)$
