Short Answer

The point that is symmetric with respect to the x-axis to the point (-2, 5) is ________.

The point that is symmetric with respect to the x-axis to the point (-2, 5) is (-2, -5).

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1. Given information.

We have given point is,

(-2, 5).

Step 2. Concept.

Point symmetry about the x-axis:

A graph is said to be symmetric about the x -axis if whenever (a, b) is on the graph then the point (a, -b) is also on the graph.

Step 3. Explanation.

We have given point is,

(-2, 5).

So using point of symmetry with respect to x - axis if the point (-2, 5) is on the graph then the point (-2, -5) is also on the graph.

Step 4. Conclusion.

Hence, The point that is symmetric with respect to the x-axis to the point (-2, 5) is (-2, -5).
