Problem

Triangle with vertices of , , and is reflected over the x-axis to triangle . This triangle is reflected over the y-axis to triangle . What are the coordinates of point ?
Solution
A reflection over the -axis negates the -coordinate, while a reflection over the -axis negates the -coordinate. So reflecting over the -axis and the -axis means we negate both coordinates to get as the coordinates of point .
Final answer
(-2, -2)
