Question

point b is located at (-2,2) on the coordinate plane. point b is reflected over the y-axis to create point b. point b is then reflected over the x-axis to create point b. what ordered pair describes the location of b?
answer attempt 1 out of 2
b(\boxed{ }, \boxed{ }))

Explanation:

Step1: Reflect over the y - axis

When reflecting a point \((x,y)\) over the \(y\) - axis, the rule is \((x,y)\to(-x,y)\).
For point \(B(-2,2)\), after reflection over the \(y\) - axis, \(B'=(2,2)\).

Step2: Reflect over the x - axis

When reflecting a point \((x,y)\) over the \(x\) - axis, the rule is \((x,y)\to(x, - y)\).
For point \(B'(2,2)\), after reflection over the \(x\) - axis, \(B''=(2,-2)\).

Answer:

\((2,-2)\)
