Question

the point m(1, -1) is reflected over the x - axis. what are the coordinates of the resulting point, m?

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.
The original point is $M(1,-1)$, where $x = 1$ and $y=-1$.

Step2: Apply the rule

For the reflection of point $M(1,-1)$ over the $x$-axis, the new $x$-coordinate is $x'=1$ and the new $y$-coordinate is $y'=-(-1) = 1$.

Answer:

$(1,1)$
