Answer 1

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

Given the point \( (2, 25) \), after reflecting over the x-axis, the new point will be \( (2, -25) \).

Therefore, the correct response is:

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