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?

is it this 3 1/4 7 1/2

or just 314 -712

So what’s the answer

When a point is reflected across the x-axis, the x-coordinate remains the same, but the y-coordinate changes sign.

Therefore, in the reflected image, the x-coordinate will still be 314, but the y-coordinate will change sign from positive (+712) to negative (-712).

Therefore, the coordinates for the point at the bottom of the heart in the reflected image will be (314, -712).

The coordinates for the point at the bottom of the heart in the reflected image are (314, -712). There is no need to express it as a mixed number or a fraction. The x-coordinate remains as 314, and the y-coordinate changes sign from positive 712 to negative 712.
