Answer 1

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

For the point \((2, -4)\):

• The x-coordinate \(2\) becomes \(-2\).
• The y-coordinate \(-4\) remains \(-4\).

Thus, after the reflection, the point \((2, -4)\) becomes \((-2, -4)\).

So the correct response is: In the horizontal reflection, the point (2,−4) becomes (−2,−4).
