Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image shows a triangle reflected over the x-axis, and the question asks where point , the reflection of point , would be located.
To find the reflected point over the x-axis, we apply the reflection rule: when reflecting a point over the x-axis, the x-coordinate remains the same, but the y-coordinate is multiplied by .
From the graph, the coordinates of point are approximately .
- After reflecting over the x-axis, point will have the same x-coordinate and the opposite y-coordinate:
So, point will be located at .

Tip: Always check both coordinates when performing reflections to ensure the transformation follows the correct rule.
