Reflection is flipping. The x axis is the horizontal line. If you flip a shape over the x axis, it will still stay in the same area for the horizontal points, it's the vertical points that will change, but only their signs will because a reflection isn't moving a shapes location completely. Think of it like Flipping the page of a book. If you drew a triangle on your book page and flipped the page, it would still be in the same area just the opposite side/direction. Just make the y axis (second number in brackets) points the opposite sign to solve

-4,-4 0,-3. 1,1
