The shape of a heart is reflected across the X axis if the point at the bottom of the heart, for the original figure is at(3 1/4, 7 1/2), what are the coordinates for the point at the bottom of the heart in the reflected image?

Answer 1

When a shape is reflected across the x-axis, the y-coordinate of each point is negated while the x-coordinate remains the same.

The original point at the bottom of the heart is (3 1/4, 7 1/2).

Negating the y-coordinate results in (-3 1/4, -7 1/2).

Therefore, the coordinates for the point at the bottom of the heart in the reflected image are (-3 1/4, -7 1/2).
