Question

question what is the image of (-5, -1) after a reflection over the x - axis? answer attempt 1 out of 2

Explanation:

Step1: Recall reflection rule

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

Step2: Apply the rule

For the point $(-5,-1)$, $x=-5$ and $y = - 1$. After reflection, $x$ remains the same and $y$ changes its sign. So, $y$ becomes $-(-1)=1$.

Answer:

$(-5,1)$
