plot the reflection of point A across the x-axis. what are the coordinates of the reflection of point A across the x-axis? what

You reflect point A over the x-axis, double the distance from point a to the x-axis, then give the coordinates.

ex/ point A to the x-axis: 6, reflection: 12. coordinates (-6, 5)
