Final answer:

The transformation described by the points (3, -11) and (-3, 11) is a reflection.

Step-by-step explanation:

The transformation described by the points (3, -11) and (-3, 11) is a reflection.

A reflection is a transformation that flips a figure across a line, called the line of reflection. In this case, the line of reflection is the x-axis.

When you reflect a point across the x-axis, the x-coordinate stays the same and the y-coordinate changes to its opposite. In this case, the x-coordinate of both points is -3, and when reflected across the x-axis, it remains -3. The y-coordinate of the first point is -11, and its opposite is 11. Therefore, the reflected point is (-3, 11).
