Samantha drew Δ JKL with the coordinates (2, 3), (4, 3), and (5, 2). She reflected this triangle over the x-axis to create an image. What are the coordinates of the image?
A. (0, 3), (2, 3), and (3, 2)
B. (2, 0), (4, 0), and (5, −1)
C. (−2, 3), (−4, 3), and (−5, 2)
D. (2, −3), (4, −3), and (5, −2)

UWU is right ty
To find the coordinates of the image of the triangle after reflecting it over the x-axis, we need to change the sign of the y-coordinate for each point.
The original coordinates of the triangle are (2, 3), (4, 3), and (5, 2).
To reflect these coordinates over the x-axis, we change the sign of the y-coordinate.
(2, 3) becomes (2, -3)
(4, 3) becomes (4, -3)
(5, 2) becomes (5, -2)
Therefore, the coordinates of the image of the triangle after reflection over the x-axis are (2, -3), (4, -3), and (5, -2).
Looking at the answer choices, the correct answer is D. (2, -3), (4, -3), and (5, -2).
visualize a point reflected over the x-axis.
Wouldn't the x stay the same, and the y would become the opposite ??
