Question

A line segment has endpoints at (3, 2) and (2, –3). Which reflection will produce an image with endpoints at (3, –2) and (2, 3)?

a reflection of the line segment across the x-axis
a reflection of the line segment across the y-axis
a reflection of the line segment across the line y = x
a reflection of the line segment across the line y = –x
Mark this and return

Answer 1

Reflection across the x-axis.

Reason: Reflecting (x,y) across the x-axis gives (x,−y). (3,2) → (3,−2) and (2,−3) → (2,3).
