When a point \((x, y)\) is reflected over the x-axis, the x-coordinate remains the same, and the y-coordinate is negated.

For the point \((2, 25)\):

  • The x-coordinate stays \(2\).
  • The y-coordinate changes from \(25\) to \(-25\).

Therefore, the reflected point becomes \((2, -25)\).

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