Given the coordinates of kite ABCD, when reflected across the x-axis, the coordinates becomes B (-3, 1).

How do we identify the coordinates of point A?

When a point is reflected across the x-axis, its x-coordinate remains the same, but its y-coordinate is multiplied by -1 (its sign is changed).

Kite ABCD has its coordinates as follows

A(-3,-1)

B(-4, 2)

C(-3, 3)

D(-2,2)

Given the coordinates of point A as (-3, -1), the reflection across the x-axis will result in the x-coordinate staying at -3, and the y-coordinate changing from -1 to 1.

Therefore, the resulting coordinates of point A after the reflection will be (-3, 1). The correct option is: B (-3, 1)
