Question

What is the ordered pair that is a reflection over the x-axis for the point shown? The x-axis starts at negative 8, with tick marks every one unit up to 8. The y-axis starts at negative 7, with tick marks every one unit up to 7. The point plotted is five units to the left and six units up from the origin. (5, 6) (−5, −6) (6, 5) (−6, −5)

Answer 1

b

Explanation:

 -5, -6

Answer 2

To reflect a point over the x-axis, we need to negate the y-coordinate while keeping the x-coordinate the same.

The given point is located 5 units to the left and 6 units up from the origin. So its coordinates are (-5, 6).

To reflect this point over the x-axis, we negate the y-coordinate to get (−5, −6).

Therefore, the ordered pair that is a reflection over the x-axis for the given point is (−5, −6).
