Answer:
When point A with coordinates (0, -1) is reflected across the x-axis and mapped onto point A', the coordinates of A' will be (0, 1).
i.e A'(0, 1) is the image of point A after a reflection.
Hence, point A is reflected across the x-axis.
Explanation:
When we reflect a point A across the x-axis, the value of 'y' gets negated, but the value of 'x' remains unchanged.
In other words, when point P with coordinates (x, y) is reflected across the x-axis and mapped onto point P', the coordinates of P' will be (x, -y).
Thus, the rule is:
P(x, y) → P'(x, -y)
Thus, when point A with coordinates (0, -1) is reflected across the x-axis and mapped onto point A', the coordinates of A' will be (0, 1).
i.e A'(0, 1) is the image of point A after a reflection.
Hence, point A is reflected across the x-axis.
