Question

The mirror image of the above text about the X-axis is

The correct answer is

To find the mirror image of the given text about the X-axis, we need to understand how reflection works. When a figure is reflected across the X-axis, each point of the figure has its Y-coordinate negated, causing it to flip vertically.

  1. Observe the original text "PHYLAXIS" oriented normally along the X-axis.
  2. When mirrored about the X-axis, the text should flip vertically. This means that any part of the text that was on top will now appear on the bottom and vice versa.
  3. Since a mirror image across the X-axis involves flipping the vertical position, each letter must be rotated 180 degrees vertically.

The correct mirrored image would resemble a vertically flipped version of each letter.

Therefore, the correct answer is the option shown above as it matches the vertically mirrored image of the original text "PHYLAXIS" across the X-axis.
