Reflections With Rules

When an image is reflected over the x-axis, what happens to the new coordinates?

• Both the x and y-values change signs.
• The x-value changes signs and the y-value remains the same.
• The coordinate does not change
• The x-value stays the same and the y-value changes signs.
