For an arbitrary point (x,y), a reflection over the line y=-x is given by:


(x,y)\rightarrow(-y,-x)

The coordinates of the point A(3,2) after a reflection over the line y=-x, are:


A^(\prime\prime)=(-2,-3)

For an arbitrary point (x,y), a rotation of 90 degrees counterclockwise is given by:


(x,y)\rightarrow(-y,x)

The coordinates of the point A''(-2,-3) after rotating 90 degrees counterclockwise, are:


A^(\prime)=(3,-2)
