Answer:

(2,-1)

Explanation:

Starting at (-4,-4), flipping along the y axis would leave you at (4,-4).

This is because flipping it across the y-axis -- or the up and down line, moves it from the left to the right. So the x value will go from negative to positive.

Moving it 3 up means adding 3 to the coordinate in the y-axis. So now we are at (4,-1).

Moving it two to the left means taking two away from the coordinate in the x- axis. Now we're at (2,-1)

If it makes it any easier, coordinates are plotted as (X,Y). You can think of it as X= run (side by side), and Y= rise (up and down).

(x,y) >> (-4,-4)

Reflect along y-axis/reciprocal of x coordinate >> (4,-4)

Translate/move 3 up (y axis = up/down) >> (4,-1)

Translate/move 2 left (x-axis = left/right) >> (2,-1)
