Given:

The coordinates of quadrilateral PQRS is:

P(-5, -2) , Q(-2,-2), R(-4, -6) and S(-7, -6)

Required: The coordinate of P' after a reflection over the x-axis

The rule for reflection of the x-axis is:


(x,\text{ y) }\to\text{ (x, -y)}

If point P is reflected over the x-axis, the transformation would be:


(-5,\text{ -2) }\to\text{ (-5, 2)}

Hence, the coordinate of P' would be (-5, 2)

Answer: Option A
