Answer 1

The point U' is (-6, -2).

Explanation:

The reflection of point U over the x-axis is the point U' with the same x-coordinate but a y-coordinate that is the opposite of U's y-coordinate. Since the y-coordinate of point U is 3, the y-coordinate of the reflected point U' will be -3. Therefore, the coordinates of U' are (-2, -3).

The graph should show U at the point (2, 3) and U' at the point (2, -3) after being reflected over the x-axis.
