Answer 1

When a point \((x, y)\) is reflected over the x-axis, the x-coordinate remains the same while the y-coordinate changes its sign.

In this case, the point \((2, 25)\) is reflected over the x-axis.

The x-coordinate is \(2\) (which stays the same), and the y-coordinate \(25\) becomes \(-25\).

Thus, the reflected point is \((2, -25)\).

So, the correct response is:

**In the reflection, the point (2,25) becomes (2,−25).**
