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

Given the points:

  • A(−4,−1)
  • B(−5,−2)
  • C(−10,−1)

Let's reflect each point across the x-axis:

  1. A(−4,−1) → A′(−4, 1)
  2. B(−5,−2) → B′(−5, 2)
  3. C(−10,−1) → C′(−10, 1)

So, the new coordinates are:

  • A′(−4, 1)
  • B′(−5, 2)
  • C′(−10, 1)

The correct response is: A′(−4,1), B′(−5,2), and C′(−10,1).
