Question

Name two points that are reflections of each other across the x-axis.

Answer 1

Original point (1,2) and the image is (1,-2).

Explanation:

If a point on the coordinate plane reflects across the x-axis then the x-coordinates of the original point and that of the image point will remain the same and the y-coordinates of the original point and that of the image point will only change their signs.

So, a point having coordinates (a,b) when reflected across the x-axis then the point generated after reflection will have coordinates (a,-b).

This is true for any real values of a and b.

So, for example, if (1,2) is a point reflected across the x-axis will generate an image point with coordinates (1,-2). (Answer)
