ASAP TIMED QUESTION

What is the ordered pair that is a reflection over the x-axis for the point shown?

The x-axis starts at negative 8, with tick marks every one unit up to 8. The y-axis starts at negative 7, with tick marks every one unit up to 7. The point plotted is five units to the left and six units up from the origin.

A (5, 6)
B (−5, −6)
C (6, 5)
D (−6, −5)

Answer 1

B. (-5, -6)

Explanation:

You want the coordinates of the point (-5, 6) after it has been reflected over the x-axis.

Reflection

The y-coordinate measures the distance above the x-axis. When a point is reflected over the x-axis that distance becomes the distance below the x-axis. That is, the y-coordinate changes sign.

(-5, 6) ⇒ (-5, -6) after reflection over the x-axis, choice B
