Andrea has to find a third point C, to form a triangle on the coordinate plane. She is told the coordinates of its reflection C', across the x-axis are (-2,2). What are the coordinate points of C?

Answer 1

Since C' is the reflection of C across the x-axis, the y-coordinate of C' will be the negative of the y-coordinate of C.

Therefore, the y-coordinate of C will be -2.

We know that C' has coordinates (-2,2), so the x-coordinate of C will remain the same, which is -2.

Therefore, the coordinates of C are (-2, -2).
