Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to perform two transformations on point .
Step 1: Reflection across (the y-axis)
- Reflecting a point across the y-axis changes the sign of the x-coordinate while keeping the y-coordinate the same.
- For , after reflection across the y-axis, the coordinates become .
Step 2: Reflection across (the x-axis)
- Reflecting a point across the x-axis changes the sign of the y-coordinate while keeping the x-coordinate the same.
- For , after reflection across the x-axis, the coordinates become .
Final Answer
The coordinates of point after both reflections are:

Tip
For reflections, changing the sign of the coordinate perpendicular to the line of reflection can help quickly determine the result.
