Question

The shape of a heart is reflected across the x
-axis. If the point at the bottom of the heart for the original figure is at (314,712)
, what are the coordinates for the point at the bottom of the heart in the reflected image?(1 point)

Answer 1

When a point is reflected across the x-axis, the x-coordinate remains the same, while the y-coordinate changes sign.

Given the point \((314, 712)\), when reflecting this point across the x-axis, the coordinates will change as follows:

- The x-coordinate stays the same: \(314\)
- The y-coordinate changes sign: from \(712\) to \(-712\)

Thus, the coordinates for the point at the bottom of the heart in the reflected image are \((314, -712)\).
