Question

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

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 Q

Given point $Q=(1,4)$. After reflection over the $x - axis$, the $x$-coordinate is still $1$ and the new $y$-coordinate is $- 4$. So the new point $Q'=(1, - 4)$.

Answer:

$(1,-4)$
