The point (2, −3) is reflected across the x -axis. In what quadrant is the reflected point located?

Answer 1

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

The original point is (2, -3). Reflecting it across the x-axis gives us a point with the same x-coordinate, but a y-coordinate of -(-3) = 3.

Therefore, the reflected point is (2, 3).

This point is located in the second quadrant.
