Question

question what is the image of (5, -7) after a reflection over the x - axis? answer attempt 1 out of 2

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 the rule

For the point $(5,-7)$, $x = 5$ and $y=-7$. After reflection, the new $y$ - value is $-(-7)=7$ and $x$ remains $5$.

Answer:

$(5,7)$
