ANSWER

The coordinate of point V is (-3, -5)

Explanation:

Given information

From the given graph in the provided question, you will see that point V is located at (3, 5)

V = (3, 5)

This imples that x = 3 , and y = 5

The coordinate was first reflected over the x-axis

The rule for reflecting over the x-axis is to negate the value of the y-coordinate of each point, but leave the value x-coordinate

Mathematically,

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

V = (3, 5) ------------> V'= (3, -5)

The next step is to reflect over the y-axis

Recall that, V' = (3, -5) after reflecting over the x-axis

The rule for reflecting over the y-axis is to negate the x-coordinate and leave the y-coordinate.

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

V' = (3, -5) -----------> V'' = (-3, -5)

Therefore, the coordinate of point V is (-3, -5)
