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 (3.25,7.5)
, what are the coordinates for the point at the bottom of the heart in the reflected image?(1 point)

When a point \( (x, y) \) is reflected across the x-axis, the new coordinates become \( (x, -y) \).

Given the point at the bottom of the heart \( (3.25, 7.5) \), we can reflect it across the x-axis:

  • The x-coordinate remains the same: \( 3.25 \)
  • The y-coordinate changes from \( 7.5 \) to \( -7.5 \).

Thus, the coordinates for the point at the bottom of the heart in the reflected image are \( (3.25, -7.5) \).
