Question

Point P is located at (4, 8) on a coordinate plane.  Point Pwill be reflected over the x − axis.  What will be thecoordinates of the image of point P?

Answer 1

Step 1:

In this question, we are given that:

Point P is located at (4, 8) on a coordinate plane.

Point P will be reflected over the x-axis.

What will be the coordinates of the image of point P?

Step 2:

How do you reflect a point over the x-axis?

When you reflect a point across the x-axis, the x-coordinate remains the same, but the y-coordinate is taken to be the additive inverse.

The reflection of point (x, y) across the x-axis is (x, -y).

CONCLUSION:

Point P ( 4, 8 ) reflected over the x-axis is ( 4, -8 ) -- OPTION C
