The correct Answer is:
To find the coordinates of the given points under reflection in the x-axis, we will follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Reflection in the x-axis**: - When a point (x, y) is reflected in the x-axis, the x-coordinate remains the same, while the y-coordinate changes its sign. Thus, the reflection of (x, y) in the x-axis is (x, -y). 2. **Reflecting the first point (3, -2)**: - Original point: (3, -2) - Applying the reflection rule: - x-coordinate remains the same: 3 - y-coordinate changes sign: -2 becomes 2 - Reflected point: (3, 2) 3. **Reflecting the second point (-5, 4)**: - Original point: (-5, 4) - Applying the reflection rule: - x-coordinate remains the same: -5 - y-coordinate changes sign: 4 becomes -4 - Reflected point: (-5, -4) 4. **Reflecting the third point (0, 0)**: - Original point: (0, 0) - Applying the reflection rule: - x-coordinate remains the same: 0 - y-coordinate changes sign: 0 remains 0 - Reflected point: (0, 0) ### Final Reflected Points: - (3, -2) reflects to (3, 2) - (-5, 4) reflects to (-5, -4) - (0, 0) reflects to (0, 0) ### Summary of Reflected Points: 1. (3, -2) → (3, 2) 2. (-5, 4) → (-5, -4) 3. (0, 0) → (0, 0) ---
