Question

If ADEF is reflected over the x-axis, what would be the coordinates of point F?

Answer 1

Please check the explanation.

Explanation:

Let the coordinates of the point F be (x, y).

When a point F(x, y) is reflected over the x-axis, the x-coordinate of the point F remains the same, and the y-coordinate of the point reverses the sign.

Thus, the rule of reflection over the x-axis:

F(x, y) → F'(x, -y)

Here,

F'(x, -y) would be coordinates of point F after the reflection over the x-axis.

Let say, the point F(1, 2).

The coordinate of the point F after the reflection over the x-axis would be:

F(1, 2) → F'(1, -2)

Thus, F'(1, -2) would be the coordinates of point F after the reflection over the x-axis.
