In the graph shown, which of the following represents the image of the line segment after a reflection across the -axis?

In the graph shown, which of the following represents the image of the line segment after a reflection across the -axis?

Pick one
To find the image of , we reflect points and across the -axis, then join them.
Since is 3 units above the -axis, then the reflection of across the -axis is 3 units below the -axis at the same -coordinate.
That is, point is the image of after it is reflected across the -axis.
Similarly, after a reflection across the -axis, the image of point will be 6 units below the -axis but have the same -coordinate as .
That is, point is the image of after it is reflected across the -axis.
Therefore, the line segment is the image of after it is reflected across the -axis.

Solution 1
The multiples of 5 between 1 and 99 are: Of these, only and are even.
Therefore, there are 9 even whole numbers between 1 and 99 that are multiples of 5.
Solution 2
To create an even multiple of 5, we must multiply 5 by an even whole number (since 5 is odd, multiplying 5 by an odd whole number creates an odd result).
The smallest positive even multiple of 5 is .
The largest even multiple of 5 less than 99 is .
That is, multiplying 5 by each of the even numbers from 2 to 18 results in the only even multiples of 5 between 1 and 99.
Since there are 9 even numbers from 2 to 18 (inclusive), then there are 9 even whole numbers between 1 and 99 that are multiples of 5.
