Question

what will be the reflection of the point (4,5) about x axis in the fourth quadrant?

Answer 1

Answer:

It will be (4,-5)

Hope it will be helpful ☺️ thank you!

Answer 2

The required reflection is (4, -5).

Given:

Point (4, 5)

Line of reflection = x-axis

To find: the reflection of (4, 5) about the x-axis

Solution:

Since point (4, 5) is reflected about the x-axis, the reflection will be in the quadrant vertically below the first quadrant

⇒ reflection will be in the 4th quadrant

We know that in the 4th quadrant,

Sign of x-coordinate = +

Sign of y-coordinate = -

magnitude remains the same after reflection.

⇒ x-coordinate of reflection = 4

⇒ y-coordinate of reflection = -5

⇒ Coordinates of reflection of point (4, 5) about x-axis = (4, -5).
