To figure out what the coordinate pair of (-4, 6) reflected across the x-axis is, we will use (x, y) ➜ (x, −y). This means the sign (+ or -) of the x-coordinate will stay the same, but the y-coordinate will change.
There's an easy way to find the co-ordinates of a point that's been reflected over the x axis, when you know the original co-ordinates of the point. Pay attention:
What happens to a point when you reflect it around the x-axis?
So we notice that the x co-ordinate stayed the same, but the y co-ordinate didn't; did you notice that the y co-ordinate of the original point & the y co-ordinate of that point reflected, are <u><em>opposites</em></u>.
