Question

point e is located at (-5, 1) on the coordinate plane. point e is reflected over the x - axis to create point e. what ordered pair describes the location of e? answer attempt 1 out of 2 e ( , )

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 the rule to point E

Given point $E(-5,1)$, for the reflection over the $x - axis$, the $x$-coordinate of $E'$ is $x=-5$ and the $y$-coordinate of $E'$ is $y = - 1$.

Answer:

$(-5,-1)$
