Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem asks to find the coordinates of the vertices of triangle ABC after reflecting it over the x-axis.
The original triangle ABC has the following coordinates:
Reflection Over the X-axis:
When reflecting a point over the x-axis, the x-coordinate remains unchanged, but the y-coordinate becomes its opposite (negation). Therefore, the new coordinates for each point after reflection are:
- (since the y-coordinate of 0 stays 0)
Conclusion:
The new coordinates after reflection are:
The correct option is B).

Here are five related questions:
- How do you reflect a point over the y-axis?
- What happens to the coordinates when reflecting over the origin?
- Can you explain how to reflect over the line ?
- How would the coordinates change if reflected over the line ?
- What is the difference between translation and reflection in geometry?
Tip: When reflecting across the x-axis, only the y-coordinate changes its sign, while the x-coordinate remains unchanged.
