Use the image to answer the question.
A coordinate plane shows the x- and y- axes ranging from negative 11 to 11 in increments of 1. The point left parenthesis 2 comma negative 3 right parenthesis is plotted on the plane.
The point (2, −3)
is reflected across the x
-axis. In what quadrant is the reflected point located?
(1 point)
The reflected point will have the same x-coordinate but the y-coordinate will change its sign. In this case, the x-coordinate is 2 and the y-coordinate changes from -3 to 3. Therefore, the reflected point will be (2, 3).
Since the y-coordinate is now positive, the reflected point will be located in Quadrant I.
