 . What ordered pair describes the location of J, prime, question markJ

When a point is reflected over the x-axis, the x-coordinate remains the same, but the y-coordinate changes sign. 

Given point \( J(-4, -2) \), its reflection over the x-axis will have the coordinates:

- The x-coordinate stays the same: \(-4\)
- The y-coordinate becomes the opposite of \(-2\), which is \(2\)

Thus, the reflected point \( J' \) will be at \( (-4, 2) \).

The ordered pair describing the location of \( J' \) is:

\[
(-4, 2)
\]

1. How would you reflect a point over the y-axis?
2. What is the reflection of point \( (3, -5) \) over the x-axis?
3. How do you reflect a point over both the x-axis and y-axis?
4. How is the distance between two points calculated after reflection?
5. Can you reflect a point over a diagonal line like \( y = x \)?

**Tip:** Always remember, reflecting over the x-axis only changes the sign of the y-coordinate.
