Question

On a coordinate grid, point P is at (5, 2) and point R is at (−3, −4). Points Q and S are a reflection of both points across the x-axis. What are the coordinates of Q and S?

Q(−5, 2), S(3, −4)
Q(−5, −2), S(3, 4)
Q(5, −2), S(−3, 4)
Q(−5, 2), S(−3, 4)

Answer 1

i think it is Q(5,-2),S(-3,4)

Answer 2

Q(5, −2), S(−3, 4)

Explanation:

When we reflect accrox x-axis, that means we have to change y-coordinates to their opposite, from positive to negative, or from negative to positive.

So, in this case, the given points are

`P(5,2)\\R(-3,-4)`

If we reflect these points accros x-axis, they would be

`Q(5,-2)\\S(-3,4)`

Therefore, the right answer is the third choice.
