Question

the point m is plotted on the coordinate grid below. plot the point m, the reflection of m over the x-axis. click on the graph to plot a point. click a point to delete it.

Explanation:

Step1: Determine coordinates of M

From the graph, point \( M \) has coordinates \( (3, 2) \) (x - coordinate is 3, y - coordinate is 2).

Step2: Apply reflection over x - axis rule

The rule for reflecting a point \( (x,y) \) over the \( x \) - axis is \( (x, -y) \). For \( M(3,2) \), the reflected point \( M' \) will have coordinates \( (3, - 2) \).

Answer:

To plot \( M' \), we find the point with \( x = 3 \) and \( y=-2 \) on the coordinate grid. The coordinates of \( M' \) are \( (3, - 2) \).
