The coordinates of the point after reflection is (-2,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the coordinates of the point is (5,-2)

We need to determine the coordinates of the point after the reflection across the line y = x

The transformation rule to reflect the figure across the line y = x is given by


(x,y)\implies (y,x)

Thus, using the above transformation, let us reflect the point (5,-2) across the line y = x.

Hence, we have,


(5,-2)\implies (-2,5)

Therefore, the coordinates of the point after reflection across the line y = x is (-2,5)
