A point P(a, b) is reflected across the x-axis to give point P'. Reflection across the x-axis keeps x the same and flips the sign of y. If P = (5, 3), what are the coordinates of P'?

Question

Accepted Answer

(5, -3). Reflecting across the x-axis sends (x, y) to (x, -y). So (5, 3) becomes (5, -3).

A point $P$ (a, b) is reflected across the $x$ -axis to give point P'.
Reflection across the $x$ -axis keeps $x$ the same and flips the sign of $y$ .
If $P$ = (5, 3), what are the coordinates of P'?
