Answer:

  • reflected point: (7, 0)
  • any point on the line of reflection is invariant

Explanation:

The point (7, 0) becomes the point (7, 0) when reflected over the x-axis. That is, its coordinates do not change.

The point (7, 0) lies on the x-axis, so is on the line of reflection. Any point on the line of reflection is invariant--it doesn't move.

__

The transformation for reflection in the x-axis is ...

(x, y) ⇒ (x, -y)

(7, 0) ⇒ (7, 0) . . . . . . the opposite of 0 is 0
