Question

The image of the point (3, –5) in the x-axis has the coordinates ______.

Answer 1

The image of the point (3, –5) in the x-axis has the coordinates (3, 5).

Explanation:

Reflection in the x-axis changes the sign of the y-coordinate while keeping x the same, so (3, –5) → (3, –(–5)) = (3, 5).
