A coordinate plane shows the x- and y- axes ranging from negative 11 to 11 in increments of 1. The point left parenthesis 5 comma 10 right parenthesis is plotted on the plane.
The point (5, 10)
is reflected across the x
-axis. What are the coordinates of the reflected point?

When a point \((x, y)\) is reflected across the x-axis, the x-coordinate remains the same, while the y-coordinate changes sign.
For the point \((5, 10)\):
Therefore, the coordinates of the reflected point are \((5, -10)\).
So the correct response is:
(5, −10)
