Question

point j is located at (-4, -2) on the coordinate plane. point j is reflected over the x - axis to create point j. what ordered pair describes the location of j? answer attempt 1 out of 2 j( )

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 J

Given point $J(-4,-2)$, for the $x$-coordinate of $J'$, $x=-4$ (remains unchanged). For the $y$-coordinate of $J'$, since the original $y = - 2$, the new $y= -(-2)=2$.

Answer:

$J'(-4,2)$
