Question

If the point ( 3, 5 ) is reflected over the X axis, then at what point will it be ? The new (x,y) ? a ( -3, 5 ) b ( -3, -5 ) c ( 5, 3 ) d ( 3, -5)

Answer 1

The correct option is a: (-3,5)

Explanation:

-We must first graph the given point on the Cartesian plane.

-By locating the given point we can see that it is in the first quadrant on the positive x axis.

-Now when reflecting that point on the negative x-axis, the value of 5 that is on the y-axis does not undergo any change remains the same, but 3 when reflected now remains negative.
