Question

17 multiple choice 1 point point j (-8, -12) is reflected over the x - axis. where is j? (8, -12) (-12, -8) (-8, 12) (8, 12) clear my selection

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 $J(-8,-12)$, after reflection over the x - axis, the x - coordinate of $J'$ is $x=-8$ and the y - coordinate of $J'$ is $y = -(-12)=12$. So $J'$ is $(-8,12)$.

Answer:

C. $(-8,12)$
