1. The problem asks to find the image of triangle UVW after reflecting it over the x-axis.
2. Reflection over the x-axis changes the y-coordinate of each point to its opposite, while the x-coordinate remains the same. The formula for reflection over the x-axis is:
$$ (x, y) \to (x, -y) $$
3. Given points:
- W = (-5, 2)
- U = (-5, -10)
- V = (7, -10)
4. Apply the reflection formula to each point:
- W' = (-5, -2)
- U' = (-5, 10)
- V' = (7, 10)
5. The reflected triangle U'V'W' has vertices at (-5, 10), (7, 10), and (-5, -2).
6. This reflection flips the triangle over the x-axis, changing the vertical positions but keeping the horizontal positions the same.
