Question

The shape of a heart is reflected across the x-axis. If the point at the bottom of the heart for the original figure is at (314,712), what are the coordinates for the point at the bottom of the heart in the reflected image?

Answer 1

(314, -712). Read below for the steps and explanation, thank you :)

Explanation:

Start with the original point at the bottom of the heart: (314, 712).

When you reflect a point across the x-axis, you keep the x-coordinate the same, but you change the sign of the y-coordinate.

The x-coordinate remains 314.

For the y-coordinate, change the sign of 712 to -712.

Combine the x-coordinate and the new y-coordinate to get the coordinates of the reflected point: (314, -712).

So, the coordinates for the point at the bottom of the heart in the reflected image are (314, -712).
