For a transformation that involves a reflection over the x-axis, it means the pre-image is reflected across the horizontal line.
For a reflection over the x-axis, the x coordinate remains the same while the y coordinate changes.
The rule that describes a transformation when an image has been reflected over the x-axis is:
(x, y) ==> (x, -y)
Using the pre-image (-x, -y), we have:
(-x, -y) ==> (-x, y)
For a triangle, we have:
A(-x, -y) ==> A'(-x, y)
B(-x, -y) ==> B'(-x, y)
C(-x, -y) ==> C'(-x, y)
