Please help!!! 10 points, easy question

Johnny reflects ∆ABC across the y axis and then again across the x axis.

Hallie rotates ∆ABC 180° clockwise about the origin.

Sally says the resulting images will have the same coordinates.

True? or False?

The answer will be false. The reason for this is because reflecting it across the y-axis will put it below the original figure, then rotating it around the origin 180 degrees will put it to the right side of it.

Answer: TRUE

Explanation

reflection across the y-axis changes the sign of the x-coordinate

reflection across the x-axis changes the sign of the y-coordinate

reflection 180° about the origin changes the signs of both the x- and y-coordinates.

Johnny: (x, y) → (-x, y) → (-x, -y)

Hallie: (x, y) → (-x, -y)
