Question
Point A(4,−7)
is reflected in the x-axis. Identify the coordinates of its image after this reflection.(1 point)
The coordinates of A′
are (
,
).

1 answer

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

Given the point \( A(4, -7) \):

  • The x-coordinate is \( 4 \).
  • The y-coordinate \( -7 \) changes to \( 7 \).

So, the coordinates of the reflected point \( A' \) are \( (4, 7) \).

Therefore, the coordinates of \( A' \) are \( (4, 7) \).
