Question

Point

R
R is located at
(
4
,
2
)
(4,2) on the coordinate plane. Point
R
R is reflected over the
x
x-axis to create point
R
′
R
′
. Point
R
′
R
′
is then reflected over the
y
y-axis to create point
R
′
′
R
′′
. What ordered pair describes the location of
R
′
′
?
R
′′
?

Answer 1

The ordered pair that describes the location of R′′ is (-4,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

When a point is reflected over the x-axis, the x-coordinate remains the same and the y-coordinate changes sign. So, the point R' will be (4,-2)

When a point is reflected over the y-axis, the x-coordinate changes sign and the y-coordinate remains the same. So, the point R′′ will be (-4,-2)
