Answer 1

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

For the point (2, 25), after reflection over the x-axis, the x-coordinate remains 2, and the y-coordinate changes from 25 to -25.

Therefore, the point (2, 25) becomes (2, -25) after reflection.

The correct response is:

**In the reflection, the point (2,25) becomes (2,−25).**
