Question

When the figure shown is reflected over the x-axis, what are the coordinates of the new figure?

A. A'(-6 , -3), B'(-3 , -6), C'(-6 , -6)

B. A'(-6 , 3), B'(-3 , 6), C'(-6 , 6)

C. A'(-6 , 3), B'(-3 , 6), C'(6 , -6)

D.A'(6 , -3), B'(3 , -6), C'(6 , -6)

The correct answer is A. A'(-6 , -3), B'(-3 , -6), C'(-6 , -6)

When a figure is reflected over the x-axis, the y-coordinates change sign while the x-coordinates remain the same. This means that for point A(6, 3), after reflecting over the x-axis, it becomes A'(-6, -3). Similarly, B(3, 6) becomes B'(-3, -6) and C(6, 6) becomes C(-6, -6).
