Math Problem Statement
Triangle XYZ is reflected across the x-axis to form figure X''Y''Z''. Determine the coordinates of X'', Y'', and Z'' after the reflection.
Solution
The question asks for the coordinates of the vertices of triangle after it is reflected across the -axis.
Step 1: Reflection Rule
When a point is reflected across the -axis, the resulting point is .
Step 2: Original Coordinates of
