There are two different ways you can do this, I have provided both below.

Answer: You can switch all the x and y coordinate values.

For example, if you have (2, 1) you would graph (1, 2).

Another example, if you have (677, 83) you would graph (83, 677)

Answer: Flip the graph over the line of y = x

I have attached an example from lumenlearning.com.
