When reflecting a point across the x-axis, we only change the sign of the y-coordinate. The x-coordinate remains the same.
For the point (1, 6):
- The x-coordinate is 1.
- The y-coordinate is 6. After reflection, it becomes -6.
Thus, the new coordinates after reflection across the x-axis will be:
(1, -6)
So, the coordinates of the point (1, 6) after a reflection across the x-axis are (1, -6).
