Answer:

(-7,9)

Explanation:

When you flip over the x-axis, the y-value changes its sign. Vice versa.

\huge\boxed{\boxed{\bold{(-7, 9)}}}


\hrulefill

To reflect a point across the
x-axis, multiply or divide its
y coordinate by
-1:


P'=(-7, -9*-1)

Multiply:


P'=\large\boxed{(-7, 9)}

An image is attached showing the original point (
P) and its image (
P').
