Triangle ABC is shown below: Triangle ABC is shown. A is at 2, 1. B is at negative 1, 4. C is at 3, 7. If triangle ABC is reflec
ted over the x-axis, which of the following shows the coordinates for point B'?

<h2>Answer</h2>
Coordinates of point B':
B' = (-1, -4)
<h2>Explanation</h2>To reflect a point or a figure across the x-axis we use the rule:
→
In other words, we multiply the y-coordinate of our points by -1, while leaving the original x-coordinate as it is.
Let's apply the rule to every point of our triangle :
A = (2, 1)
A' = (2, 1*-1) = (2, -1)
B = (-1, 4)
B' = (-1, 4*-1) = (-1, -4)
C = (3, 7)
C' = (3, 7*-1) = (3, -7)

The answers are:
Since we are given the margin of error and it's equal to ±0.1 feet, and we know the surveyed distance, we can calculate the maximum and minimum distance. We must remember that margin of errors usually involves and maximum and minimum margin of a measure, and it means that the real measure will not be greater or less than the values located at the margins.
We know that the surveyed distance is 1200 feet with a margin of error of ±0.1 feet, so, we can calculate the maximum and minimum distances that the reader could assume in the following way:
