problem
Solution
After reflecting the point in the -axis, the -coordinate of the image will be the same as the -coordinate of the original point, The original point is a distance of from the -axis. The image will be the same distance from the -axis, but below the -axis. Thus, the image has -coordinate The coordinates of the image point are
Final answer
(3,-4)
