Point P has coordinates (-2.5,3). Point Q is a reflection of point P across the x-axis. What are the coordinates of the point Q? Which quardrant is it in?

Respuesta :

Answer:

  Q = (-2.5, -3), quadrant 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflection across the x-axis changes the sign of the y-coordinate.

  Q = (-2.5, -3)

With two negative coordinates, point Q is in Quadrant III.

Additional comment

Point P has a negative x-coordinate and a positive y-coordinate, so is located northwest of the origin in Quadrant II. The quadrant that is southwest of the origin is Quadrant III, which is where points in Quadrant II are reflected to when they are reflected across the x-axis.
