a figure is reflected over the x-axis. If the figure started at (5,2) (-3,0) and (-1, 4), what are the coordinates of the image?

You have the initial coordinates

(5 , 2)

( -3 , 0)

( - 1, 4)

If you reflected over the x-axis the coordinates of the points will be:

As the reflection is over the x-axis. You see the initial coordinates, they are (x , y ) and the coordinates of the reflection will be (x , -y)

In the image you can see the reflection over the x - axis (in green) of the point in black (-1 , 4) and the reflected point in red (-1, -4)

Then so, the coordinates will be:(5 , - 2 )( - 3, 0)( - 1, - 4)
