Problem

Quadrilateral MNPQ has vertices with coordinates , , and . When the figure is rotated clockwise around point and then reflected across the line , what are the coordinates of the final image of point ? Express your answer as an ordered pair.
Solution
Since the problem only asks for the final image of point , we only need to look at point with respect to point . We plot the two points below and connect them:

When we rotate clockwise about , we arrive at :



Reflecting about the line yields . Notice that entirely by coincidence, this is the same as point .
Final answer
(2,5)
