Question

If a point at (-3, -4) is reflected over both axes to form a new point, what will be the coordinates of the new point?

(-3, -4)
(3, -4)
(3, 4)
(-3, 4)

Answer 1

(3, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

When a point is reflected over both axes, its x-coordinate and y-coordinate are negated (change sign). The original point (-3, -4) reflected over the x-axis becomes (-3, 4), and then when this new point is reflected over the y-axis, the x-coordinate is negated again, resulting in (3, 4). Therefore, the coordinates of the new point after the double reflection are (3, 4).
