The vertices of a triangle are P(-8,1), Q(-6,-8), and R(4,-3) Name the vertices of the image reflected across the x-axis.

my answer;
P1(-8,1), Q1(-6,8), and R1(4,3)

All good except P1.
Can you spot the error?
The only choices they give are;
P1(-8,1),Q1(-6,-8),R1(4,-3)
P1(-8,-1),Q1(-6,8),R1(4,-3)
P1(8,1),Q1(6,-8),R1(-4,-3)
P1(8,-1),Q1(6,8),R1(-4,3)
Soo I don't understand
Your answer does not correspond to any of the choices, neither does mine!

So there is probably is mistake in posting the question.

Once you start using the correct question, think of the following.

There is a general misconception about multiple choices in mathematics.
The safest way to use the multiple choices is NOT to look at the answers. Try to do the calculations yourself, figure out the answer, THEN check which answer corresponds to yours. In a way, you use the choices to check your answer.

Here we are talking about reflection about the x-axis. What does that mean to you in terms of transformations?
You have probably learned that reflection about the x-axis is the transformation:
T(x,y) -> (x,-y)
Apply the transformation to each of the three points and then look for the correct choice. You can't miss it.
I think I got it P1(-1,-1), Q1(-6,-8),R1(4,3)
Thank you!
I do not believe that the 4 given choices correspond to the question.
Either there is a typo in the question, or the answer.
the closest one is B... so i'll just go with that XD
wow 2012, that's the last time I truly felt joy that I could express
2012 was the last year of earth. We're all in purgatory at this point
looks like I'm not the only one in 2021

Indeed
We’re all here for finals aren’t we
yup
yes ugh
Mhm connexus final exam ey?
yessir teacher wouldn't grade my final work so here i am
its nice to know im not the only one 'checking my answers' for mid terms :)
and just like that, the next year semester exams are here
The anwser is P1(8,1),Q1(6,-8),r1(-4,-3)
mogamoga
The answer is P1(-8,-1),Q1(-6,8),R1(4,3)
Antisocial is wrong
Happy new year
