Question

graph the image of r(1, 5) after a reflection over the x - axis.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall reflection rule

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

Step2: Apply rule to point R

For point $R(1,5)$, using the rule $(x,y)\to(x, - y)$, we get $(1,5)\to(1,- 5)$.

Answer:

The image of $R(1,5)$ after reflection over the $x - axis$ is the point $(1,-5)$. To graph it, start at the origin. Move 1 unit to the right along the $x - axis$ and 5 units down along the $y - axis$ and mark the point.
