The point C(x, y) is reflected over the x-axis. Write a translation rule to describe the original point and its reflection.

Answer 1

The translation rule for the reflection of point C(x, y) over the x-axis is:

Original Point: C(x, y)
Reflection: C'(x, -y)

This means that the x-coordinate remains the same, but the y-coordinate is flipped or reflected over the x-axis resulting in the y-coordinate becoming negative.
