Answer: Choice D (aka 4th option)

C ' (-8, 1)

D ' (-6, 5)

E ' (-2, 4)

===========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The x axis reflection rule is
(x,y) \to (x,-y)

x stays the same while y flips in sign (positive to negative, or vice versa).

  • A point like C(-8, -1) will reflect to C ' (-8, 1)
  • The point D(-6, -5) reflects to D ' (-6, 5)
  • Lastly, the point E(-2, -4) reflects to E ' (-2, 4)

All of this points to Choice D as the final answer.

Answer:

last option is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

use formula of reflection over x axis .

The coordinates of C , D , E are (-8 , -1) , (-6 , -5) , (-2 , -4) respectively.

formula :

(x , y) = (x -y)

C(-8 , -1) = C'(-8 , 1)

D(-6 , -5) = D'(-6 , 5)

E(-2 , -4) = E'(-2 , 4)
