Reflect (-5,3) over the x-axis. Then translate the result down 2 units. What are the coordinates of the final point?

(-5, -5)

Step-by-step explanation: Reflection is a transformation in which there is a flip of the figure, object or point.

In our case, the point is reflected over the x-axis. When this happens, the y-coordinate of the point "flips", turning negative. So, thepoint reflected over the x-axis is (-5, -3).

Translation is also a transformation. In this transformation, the object figure or point moves a fixed distance, without changing the shape. When it is translated horizontally, the x-coordinate changes: if it is to the right, we add units; if it is to the left, we subtract units.

When the translation is vertical, the y-coordinate changes: if it is up, add units; If it's down, subtract units.

After the reflection, the now point (-5, -3) is translated down 2 units. Then, the change will be:

(-5, -3) = (-5, -3-2) = (-5, -5)

The final coordinates for the point, after reflection and translation, is (-5,-5).

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
