Math Problem Statement
What will be the coordinates of H' (the image of H) when quadrilateral PBHS is reflected over the x-axis?
Solution
To find the coordinates of , the reflection of point over the x-axis, we follow this process:
Steps:
-
Identify the coordinates of point on the graph.
- Point appears to be at .
-
When reflecting a point over the x-axis, the x-coordinate remains the same, while the y-coordinate changes its sign.
- The formula for reflection over the x-axis is:
-
Applying this to point :
Final Answer:
The coordinates of are .
