The formula to calculate the reflection of a coordinate point about the x-axis is:
\[ (X2, Y2) = (X1, Y1) \times (1, -1) \]
Where:
Reflection over the x-axis is the process of producing a coordinate point that is mirrored across the x-axis of the coordinate plane. This means it has the same x-coordinate and the opposite y-coordinate.
Let's assume the following values:
Step 1: Keep the x-coordinate the same:
\[ X2 = X1 = 3 \]
Step 2: Multiply the y-coordinate by -1:
\[ Y2 = -Y1 = -4 \]
Therefore, the reflected coordinates are (3, -4).
