Question

Point QQ is located at (2, -1) on the coordinate plane. Point QQ is reflected over the yy-axis to create point Q'Q'. Point Q'Q' is then reflected over the xx-axis to create point Q''. What ordered pair describes the location of Q''?

A. (2, -1)
B. (2, 1)
C. (-2, 1)
D. (-2, -1)

Answer 1

The ordered pair describing the location of point Q'' after reflecting point Q' over the x-axis is (2, -1).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the location of point Q'' after reflecting point Q' over the x-axis, we need to consider the y-coordinate of Q'. Since the x-axis is a horizontal line, the y-coordinate remains unchanged when reflecting over the x-axis. Therefore, the ordered pair describing the location of Q'' is (2, -1).
