Solution:
Given the graphed polygon below:
To determine the coordinates of the vertices after reflection over the x-axis,
step 1: Give the coordinates of DEFG.
Thus, we have
[tex]\begin{gathered} D(0,\text{ -10\rparen} \\ E(0,\text{ 0\rparen} \\ F(10,\text{ 0\rparen} \\ G(10,\text{ -10\rparen} \end{gathered}[/tex]
step 2: Give the reflection formula, over the x-axis.
For reflection over the x-axis, we have
[tex]D(x,\text{ y\rparen}\rightarrow D^{\prime}(x,\text{ -y\rparen}[/tex]
step 3: Give the coordinates after reflection over the x-axis.
From the formula in step 2,
we thus have
[tex]\begin{gathered} D^{\prime}(0,\text{ 10\rparen} \\ E^{\prime}(0,0) \\ F^{\prime}(10,\text{ 0\rparen} \\ G^{\prime}(10,\text{ 10\rparen} \end{gathered}[/tex]
