Question

If the trapezoid below is reflected across the x-axis, what are the coordinates of B”?

Answer 1

B'(3, -8)

Explanation:

The image is the mirror image of the trapezoid below the x-axis.

Each x-coordinate remains the same. Each y-coordinate becomes the opposite.

B'(3, -8)

Answer 2

(3 , -8)

Explanation:

The current coordinates of B. are (3,8). The x-axis is the horizontal line that runs across. This means that if the trapezoid were to be reflected, it would end up upside down. When this happens, only the y value changes its sign.

In short, your Y value would become negative, making 8 change to -8
