Question 6 • Basic Geometry II

Triangle XYZ is reflected across the x-axis, and X = (–11, 8). What are the coordinates of X’ ?

Answer
A
(11,–8)
B
(–8, 11)
C
(11, 8)
D
(–11, –8)

Explanation

A reflection across the x-axis keeps the x-coordinate the same and changes the sign of the y-coordinate: (x, y) becomes (x, −y). Applying this to X = (−11, 8) gives X′ = (−11, −8), choice D.
