Question

You reflect triangle PQR, with coordinates P(-4, -4), Q(-1, -3), and R(-3, -1), across the x-axis, across the y-axis, and across the x-axis again to form triangle P′Q′R′.

After these reflections, the coordinates of P′ will be (______,______).

?

Answer 1

4,-4

Explanation:

edmentum answer!!

Answer 2

P'( 4, -4)

Explanation:

The double reflection across the x-axis does nothing, so the net effect is a single reflection across the y-axis. That effect is to negate the x-coordinate:

reflection across y-axis: (x, y) ⇒ (-x, y)

Then P(-4, -4) ⇒ P'(4, -4)
