The point M(x, y) is reflected over the x-axis. Write a translation rule to describe the original point and its reflection.
A. (x, y)arrow (x, y)
B. (x, y)arrow(–x, y)
C. (x, y)arrow(–x, –y)
D. (x, y)arrow(x, –y)
my answer D
please correct me, right or wrong
You are right quadrant 1 is +,+ and then quadrant 4 is +,-
thank you codyjinks
so D
I think it's D as well let me know what you think.
Wrong. The correct answer is C. (x, y) arrow (–x, –y). The reflection over the x-axis changes the sign of the y-coordinate, so it becomes –y, while the x-coordinate remains the same.
Your answer is incorrect. The correct translation rule to describe the original point and its reflection over the x-axis would be:
(x, y) → (x, -y)
Therefore, the correct option is:
D. (x, y) → (x, -y)
