Answer:

(-2,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is a point P including coordinates (-1,5) and it is shown on a horizontal line i.e y =1

Now we have to compute the new coordinates of P

If a point is mirrored along a horizontal line, only vertical distance varies, however the horizontal distance is still the same, i.e. from y axis or x coordinate.

Therefore new x coordinate = -1

As P has 4 distance from the line y =1

Therefore P' will also contains a distance of 4 on the other side of y = 1

i.e. y coordinates could be

= 1 - 4

= -3

hence, the new coordinate is (-2,-3)
