How to apply a reflection over the x axis ex 1

The video tutorial explains how to reflect a figure over the X axis. It begins by identifying the X axis as the line of symmetry and demonstrates the process using points A, B, and C. The key concept is to take the opposite of the Y coordinate while keeping the X coordinate unchanged. The tutorial concludes by summarizing the reflection process and providing examples.

What is the first step to reflect a figure over the X axis?

Explain the concept of a line of symmetry in the context of reflections.

How do you determine the new coordinates of a point after reflection over the X axis?

What happens to the Y coordinate of a point when it is reflected over the X axis?

Provide an example of reflecting a point (x, y) over the X axis and state the new coordinates.
