To determine the resulting coordinates of point A when Kite ABCD is reflected across the x-axis, we need to know the original coordinates of point A. The rule for reflecting a point across the x-axis is that the x-coordinate stays the same, while the y-coordinate changes sign.

In general, if the original coordinates of point A are \((x, y)\), the reflected coordinates will be \((x, -y)\).

Since the original coordinates of point A are not provided in your question, we cannot compute the exact reflected coordinates. However, if you provide the original coordinates of point A, I can help you find the reflected coordinates.

From the options provided (A, B, C, D, E), we can analyze them:

  1. (1, -3) - The original point could have been (1, 3) before reflection.
  2. (-3, 1) - The original point could have been (-3, -1) before reflection.
  3. (3, -1) - The original point could have been (3, 1) before reflection.
  4. (-3, -1) - The original point could have been (-3, 1) before reflection.
  5. (-1, -3) - The original point could have been (-1, 3) before reflection.

If you provide the original coordinates for point A, I can guide you to the correct answer from the choices given.
