Answer 1

To reflect a point across the x-axis, you keep the x-coordinate the same and negate the y-coordinate.

The original point is (5, 10).

Reflecting it across the x-axis:

• The x-coordinate remains 5.
• The y-coordinate changes from 10 to -10.

Therefore, the coordinates of the reflected point are (5, -10).

The correct response is: (5, −10)
