Question
Reflect the endpoint of a line segment (−5, 10)
across the x
-axis. What is the result?(1 point)

Answer 1

To reflect the point \((-5, 10)\) across the \(x\)-axis, you need to change the sign of the \(y\)-coordinate while keeping the \(x\)-coordinate the same.

The reflection across the \(x\)-axis is given by:
\[
(x, y) \rightarrow (x, -y)
\]

Applying this to the point \((-5, 10)\):
\[
(-5, 10) \rightarrow (-5, -10)
\]

So, the result after reflecting the endpoint across the \(x\)-axis is \((-5, -10)\).
