Question

The coordinates of a point on a coordinate grid are (−1, 5). The point is reflected across the x-axis to obtain a new point. The coordinates of the reflected point are (1, −5) (−1, 5) (1, 5) (−1, −5)

Answer 1

I don’t really know

Answer 2

I think it should be (-1,-5)

Explanation:

On a coordinate grid, when you flip this coordinate across the x-axis, the x-axis number won't change, meaning that -1 will stay. The intial number was in the second quadrant, this means that the new number will be in the third quadrant which is made up of all negative numbers. This means that 5 will now be graphed as negative 5, making (-1,-5) the correct answer in this situation.
