Question

Point A is on figure B and is reflected across the x -axis. If point has coordinates of (3,5) , what is the distance between the original point A and the reflected point A?

Answer 1

10 units.. (3, -5).)

Explanation:

You are finding distance so you need to understand distance formula..

Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)

Where (x1, y1) are the coordinates of the original point A and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the reflected point A'...

Plugging in the values:

Distance = √((3 - 3)^2 + (-5 - 5)^2)

Distance = √(0^2 + (-10)^2)

Distance = √(0 + 100)

Distance = √100

Distance = 10

So, the distance between the original point A and the reflected point A' is 10 units.
