The x-axis divides the coordinate plane into two halves: the upper half and the lower half. The point P (-3, 4) is originally located in the upper half of the coordinate plane. When this point is reflected across the x-axis, its y-coordinate changes sign while its x-coordinate remains the same. Therefore, the reflected point will have coordinates (-3, -4) and will be located in the lower half of the coordinate plane. Thus, the reflected point is located in quadrant III.
In the Coordinate Grid, what are the signs for Quadrant III ?
In Quadrant III, the x-coordinates are negative and the y-coordinates are also negative.
