Problem
Let be the image when the line is reflected across the -axis. The value of is
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
Solution
First we want to put this is slope-intercept form, so we get . When we reflect a line across the x-axis, the line's x-intercept stays the same, while the y-intercept and the slope are additive inverses of the original line. Since is the sum of the slope and the y-intercept, we get .
Final answer
C
