Math Problem Statement
if you reflect the point (3,4) over the x axis where are the new coordinates
Solution
When you reflect a point over the x-axis, the x-coordinate remains the same, but the y-coordinate changes sign (becomes the opposite).
So, for the point :
- The x-coordinate stays as 3.
- The y-coordinate changes from 4 to -4.
Thus, the new coordinates after reflection over the x-axis are .

Tip: When reflecting a point over the x-axis, only the y-coordinate changes, while reflecting over the y-axis changes only the x-coordinate!
