What is the result of reflecting (-13,8) across the x-axis, and how do you get it

1 answer

When reflecting a point across the x-axis, the y-coordinate of the point will become the opposite of its original value, while the x-coordinate remains the same.

Given point (-13, 8), reflecting it across the x-axis will result in a new point with coordinates (-13, -8).

To get this new point, simply change the sign of the y-coordinate of the original point.
