Reflection Over X-Axis Calculator





Formula

The formula to calculate the reflection of a coordinate point about the x-axis is:

\[ (X2, Y2) = (X1, Y1) \times (1, -1) \]

What is Reflection Over the X-Axis?

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.

Example Calculation

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).
