Math Problem Statement
Find K' if the figure is reflected across the x-axis.
Solution
To reflect a point across the x-axis, you change the sign of its y-coordinate while keeping the x-coordinate the same.
From the image, point is located at .
The reflection of across the x-axis will result in , which has the coordinates .
Thus, the correct answer is .

- How would the reflection change if it were across the y-axis instead of the x-axis?
- Can you describe the rule for reflecting a point across the origin?
- What transformations, other than reflections, could change the position of the shape on the coordinate plane?
- What is the general formula for reflecting a point across the line ?
Tip: When reflecting across the x-axis, only the y-coordinate changes its sign while the x-coordinate remains constant.
