Answer:

A) reflection of P across the x-axis is at (3, 4).

Explanation:

The relevant transformations are ...

(x, y) ⇒ (x, -y) . . . . . . reflection across the x-axis

(x, y) ⇒ (-x, y) . . . . . . reflection across the y-axis

__

A) sign of y-coordinate has changed: reflection across the x-axis

B) signs of both coordinates have changed: reflection across both axes

C) sign of x-coordinate has changed: reflection across the y-axis

D) sign of y-coordinate has changed: reflection across the x-axis

The only answer choice that has a proper description is Choice A.
