-axis. What is the result?

Answer 1

To reflect a point across the x-axis, you change the sign of the y-coordinate while keeping the x-coordinate the same.

The original point is \((-5, 10)\).

Reflecting it across the x-axis gives us:

\[ (-5, -10) \]

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