Answer 1

When a point \((x, y)\) is reflected over the x-axis, the x-coordinate remains the same, while the y-coordinate changes sign.

Given the point \((2, 25)\):

- The x-coordinate is \(2\), which stays the same.
- The y-coordinate is \(25\), which changes to \(-25\).

Thus, the reflected point will be \((2, -25)\).

Therefore, the correct response is:

**In the reflection, the point (2,25) becomes (2,−25).**
