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

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

  • The x-coordinate \(2\) remains the same.
  • The y-coordinate \(25\) becomes \(-25\).

Thus, the reflected point is \((2, -25)\).

The correct response is: In the reflection, the point \((2, 25)\) becomes \((2, -25)\).
