A reflection across the line y=x can be described by the rule:


(x,y)\longrightarrow(y,x)

We can deduce this from the graph:

For example, a point that is (1,3) will have its image at (3,1).

In the case of a reflection across the line y=-x, we have the following graph:

The rule is:


(x,y)\longrightarrow(-y,-x)

For example, for the point (1,2), its image will be (-2,-1).
