Question

The point (-4,8) is reflected in the x axis.What are the co-ordinates of the transformers point?

Answer 1

(-4,-8)

Explanation:

when you reflect a point in the x axis, to obtain the final coordinate, you simply multiply the y-ordinate by -1

In this case the original y-ordinate is 8, when reflected across the x-axis, we get the final y-ordiante of 8 x -1 = -8.

Hence the final coordinate is (-4,-8)
