Question

Reflect the point (-1, -5) over the x axis.

Answer 1

The reflection of point (-1, -5) over the x-axis is (-1, 5).

Explanation:

When a point is reflected over the x-axis, the x-coordinate stays the same but the y-coordinate is negated.

Therefore, the rule for a reflection over the x-axis is:

• (x, y) → (x, -y)

Therefore, the reflection of point (-1, -5) over the x-axis is (-1, 5).
