Question

The image of a point P(x, y) when reflected in the X-axis is ___.

• A. (x, -y)
• B. (-x, y)
• C. (-x, 0)
• D. (0, -y)

Answer 1

The correct option is A

(x, -y)

When reflected through the X-axis, the y-coordinate value changes to the opposite sign. For an example, if we have, the coordinates (4, 5) its reflection through X-axis gives us (4, -5) as a resultant point.
