Question

Point P has coordinates P(-3,5).

What are the coordinates of the image P" after I translate point P: 2
units to the right 3 units up and then I reflect its image across the x-
axis?

Answer 1

P starts at (-3,5)

Move to the right 2 units and you'll get to (-1,5). We add 2 to the x coordinate here.

Then shift the point up three units to get to (-1,8). We add 3 to the y coordinate.

Finally, reflect over the x axis to get the answer (-1, -8)

Note how the y coordinate flipped in sign but the x coordinate stays the same
