Answer 1

To reflect a point 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).

So, when the point (2, 25) is reflected over the x-axis, it becomes (2, -25).

The correct response is:

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