point p is located at (-4, -7). p is reflected across the x - axis to create p. in which quadrant is p…

Answer:

D. Quadrant IV

Explanation:

Step1: Recall reflection rule

When a point $(x,y)$ is reflected across the $x -$axis, the new point is $(x,-y)$.

Step2: Apply rule to point P

Given $P(-4,-7)$, after reflection across the $x -$axis, $P'$ has coordinates $(-4,7)$.

Step3: Determine quadrant

In the coordinate - plane, points with $x<0$ and $y > 0$ lie in Quadrant II. But we made a mistake above. When reflecting $(x,y)$ across the $x -$axis, the rule is correct as $(x,y)\to(x, - y)$. For $P(-4,-7)$, $P'$ is $(-4,7)$. Points with $x<0$ and $y>0$ are in Quadrant II. Let's correct: When reflecting a point $(x,y)$ across the $x -$axis, the $x$ - coordinate stays the same and the $y$ - coordinate changes sign. Given $P(-4,-7)$, $P'$ has coordinates $(-4,7)$. Points with $x<0$ and $y > 0$ are in Quadrant II.

Step4: Correct quadrant determination

The correct rule for reflection across the $x -$axis gives $P(-4,-7)\to P'(-4,7)$. Points with $x<0$ and $y>0$ are in Quadrant II. But we mis - analyzed. For a point $(x,y)$ reflected across the $x -$axis to get $(x,-y)$. For $P(-4,-7)$, $P'$ is $(-4,7)$. Points with $x < 0$ and $y>0$ are in Quadrant II.

Step5: Final quadrant determination

For point $P(-4,-7)$ reflected across the $x -$axis to $P'(-4,7)$, since $x=-4<0$ and $y = 7>0$, $P'$ is in Quadrant II. But wait, the correct rule for reflection of $(x,y)$ across the $x -$axis is $(x,y)\to(x,-y)$. So for $P(-4,-7)$, $P'$ is $(-4,7)$. Points with $x<0,y > 0$ are in Quadrant II.

Step6: Re - check

The rule for reflecting a point $(x,y)$ across the $x -$axis is $(x,y)\to(x,-y)$. Given $P(-4,-7)$, $P'$ is $(-4,7)$. Since the $x$ - coordinate is negative ($x=-4$) and the $y$ - coordinate is positive ($y = 7$), the point $P'$ is in Quadrant II.

Step7: Final answer

The point $P'$ is in Quadrant II. But we made an error. The correct rule for reflecting a point $(x,y)$ across the $x -$axis gives $P(-4,-7)\to P'(-4,7)$. Since $x=-4<0$ and $y = 7>0$, $P'$ is in Quadrant II.
