To determine how the point (2, 25) is affected by reflecting over the x-axis, we need to understand that a reflection over the x-axis changes the y-coordinate of a point while keeping the x-coordinate the same.
When we reflect the point (x, y) over the x-axis, it becomes (x, -y).
Thus, reflecting the point (2, 25) over the x-axis gives us:
\[ (2, 25) \rightarrow (2, -25) \]
So, the correct response is:
In the reflection, the point (2,25) becomes (2,−25).
