How Do You Use Coordinates to Reflect a Figure Over the X-Axis?
Use the coordinates to reflect a figure over the x-axis.
Summary
- Listing the original coordinates will make it easier to find the coordinates of the image
- The image is the new figure we get after the reflection
- Since we're reflecting across the x-axis, the x-coordinates should stay the same
- The y-coordinates for the image should be the opposite of the y-coordinates of our original figure

Notes
-
- Listing the original coordinates will make it easier to find the coordinates of the image
- The image is the new figure we get after the transformation
-
- Since we're reflecting across the x-axis, the x-coordinates should stay the same
-
- The y-coordinates should have the same number, but the opposite sign
- So if the y-coordinate was a positive 2, it would become a negative 2
