Question

write the coordinates of the vertices after a reflection over the x-axis.
t( , )
u( , )

Explanation:

Step1: Identify original coordinates

Original vertices: $T(-8, -8)$, $U(3, -8)$, $V(-8, -7)$

Step2: Apply x-axis reflection rule

For a point $(x,y)$, reflection over x-axis is $(x, -y)$.

• For $T$: $(-8, -(-8)) = (-8, 8)$
• For $U$: $(3, -(-8)) = (3, 8)$
• For $V$: $(-8, -(-7)) = (-8, 7)$

Answer:

$T'(-8, 8)$
$U'(3, 8)$
$V'(-8, 7)$
