Question

A point is reflected across the x-axis. The new point is located at (4.75, -2.25) Where was the original point located.

Answer 1

(4.75, 2.25)

Explanation:

Given the coordinate (x,y). If this coordinate is reflected over the x axis, the resulting coordinate will be (x, -y)

Note that the y coordinate was negated.

Let the original point needed be (x, y)

If the new point is located at (4.75, -2.25)

Since the y coordinate was negated, then;

-y = -2.25

y = 2.25

x = 4,75 (x coordinate remains the same)

Hence the original point is (4.75, 2.25)
