Question

the point g(3, -5) is reflected over the x - axis. what are the coordinates of the resulting point, g?

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 the rule to point G

The point $G$ is $(3,- 5)$. After reflection over the $x$-axis, the $x$-coordinate of $G'$ is $x = 3$, and the $y$-coordinate of $G'$ is $y=-(-5) = 5$.

Answer:

$(3,5)$
