Question

A point P has coordinates (-8, -2). What are its new coordinates after reflecting point P across the x-axis?

Answer 1

(-8,2)

Explanation:

This is because when you reflect a point across the x-axis, the x-coordinate fo the point remains the same and the y-coordinate's sign gets switched.

(x,y) --> (x,-y)

(-8,-2) --> (-8,2)
