Question

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 (314,712) , what are the coordinates for the point at the bottom of the heart in the reflected image?(1 point)

( , )

Answer 1

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

Given the original point at the bottom of the heart is (314, 712), the reflection across the x-axis will be:

- The x-coordinate stays the same: 314
- The y-coordinate changes from 712 to -712

Thus, the coordinates for the point at the bottom of the heart in the reflected image are:

(314, -712)
