Point A is located at coordinate (-4, 3). B is the image of point A after a translation 2 units to the right, then a reflection over the x-axis. What is the coordinate of point B (after the transformations?

Final answer:

To find the coordinate of point B after the given transformations, first translate point A 2 units to the right, then perform a reflection over the x-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the coordinate of point B after the given transformations, first translate point A 2 units to the right. This means adding 2 to the x-coordinate. So the new x-coordinate of point A is -4 + 2 = -2.

After the translation, perform a reflection over the x-axis. This means changing the sign of the y-coordinate. The y-coordinate of point A is 3, so the new y-coordinate of point B is -3.

Therefore, the coordinate of point B (after the transformations) is (-2, -3).
