Reflect the endpoint of a line segment (−5, 10) across the x-axis. What is the result?

1 answer

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

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

To reflect it across the x-axis:

  • The x-coordinate remains \(-5\).
  • The y-coordinate changes from \(10\) to \(-10\).

Therefore, the reflected point is \((-5, -10)\).
