Answer 1

When a point is reflected over the x-axis, the x-coordinate remains the same, but the y-coordinate changes sign.

The original point is \((2, 25)\).

After reflecting this point over the x-axis, the new point will be \((2, -25)\).

So the correct response is:
In the reflection, the point (2,25) becomes (2,−25).
