Question

write the coordinates after reflection of x - axis. a(-5,-2) b(-1,-4) c(-4,-7) (a) a (b) b (c) c

Explanation:

Step1: Recall reflection rule

When a point $(x,y)$ is reflected over the $x -$axis, the transformation rule is $(x,y)\to(x, - y)$.

Step2: Apply rule to point A

For point $A(-5,-2)$, using the rule $(x,y)\to(x, - y)$, we get $A'(-5,2)$.

Step3: Apply rule to point B

For point $B(-1,-4)$, using the rule $(x,y)\to(x, - y)$, we get $B'(-1,4)$.

Step4: Apply rule to point C

For point $C(-4,-7)$, using the rule $(x,y)\to(x, - y)$, we get $C'(-4,7)$.

Answer:

(a) $A'(-5,2)$
(b) $B'(-1,4)$
(c) $C'(-4,7)$
