When a point is reflected over the x-axis, the x-coordinate remains the same while the y-coordinate changes sign.
For point W, which has the coordinates (2, 4):
– The x-coordinate is 2 (remains the same).
– The y-coordinate is 4. When reflected over the x-axis, it becomes -4.
Therefore, the coordinates of point W’ in the image will be (2, -4).
The correct answer is (2, -4).
