Plot both points on a coordinate plane. What coordinates are the same? What coordinates are opposite?
Over the x-axis
We are given the coordinates of a point and its image after a reflection. Let's plot them on a coordinate plane!
We can see that the point (2,1) and its image (2,- 1) are located on opposite sides of the x-axis. Also, their x-coordinates are the same, and their y-coordinates are opposite numbers. With this information we can conclude that the reflection is done over the x-axis.
