Answer

the coordinates of the resulting point, F'

Step-by-step explanation

When a given point with coordinates A (x, y) is reflected over the x-axis, the x-coordinate remains the same and the y-coordinate takes up a negative in front of it. That is, A (x, y) changes after being reflected across the x-axis in this way

A (x, y) = A' (x, -y)

For this question, point F (-6, -5) changes in the manner

F (-6, -5) = F' (-6, -(-5)) = F' (-6, 5)

Hope this Helps!!!
