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

Given the original coordinates:

  • A(−4,−1)
  • B(−5,−2)
  • C(−10,−1)

Reflecting these points across the x-axis, we have:

  1. For point A(−4,−1):

    • A′(−4, 1)
  2. For point B(−5,−2):

    • B′(−5, 2)
  3. For point C(−10,−1):

    • C′(−10, 1)

So the coordinates of A′, B′, and C′ are:

  • A′(−4, 1)
  • B′(−5, 2)
  • C′(−10, 1)

Therefore, the correct response is: A′(−4, 1), B′(−5, 2), and C′(−10, 1).
