Reflecting point D across the x-axis changes its y-coordinate sign. The new position, D', is at (-9, 9), where the x-coordinate remains the same, and the y-coordinate changes sign.

The correct answer is option A.

When a point is reflected across the x-axis, its y-coordinate changes sign while the x-coordinate remains the same. In this case, the original position of point D is at -9 on the x-axis.

Reflecting across the x-axis, the new y-coordinate of D' would be the opposite of -9, which is 9. Therefore, the new position of D' would be (x, y) = (-9, 9).

In summary, the reflected point D' is at (-9, 9).

Therefore , from the given options the correct one is A.

The question probable may be:

Where would the new point D' be if reflected across the x-axis? The original position of D is at -9

A. D' is at (-9)

B. D' is at (-8)

C. D' is at (8)

D. D' is at (9)
