Write a rule in function notation to describe the transformation that is a reflection across the x-axis.

Answer:

R(x, y) = (x, -y)

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have a reflection across some line, the distance between the original point and the reflected point to the line is invariant.

For a reflection around the x-axis, the x-value is invariant, then the only value that can change is the y-value.

So if we have a point like (4, 7)

Which is at a distance of 7 units to the x-axis, the only other point that is also at a distance of 7 units to the x-axis that has the same x-value is (4, -7)

Here we already can see the rule.

If we have a point (x, y), the reflection across the x-axis gives us the point (x. -y)

Then we can write this reflection as a function in the next way:

R(x, y) = (x, -y)

This means that if the input is the point (x, y), the output is the point (x, -y)
