Start with the point B (-1, -4). Reflect the point through the y-axis. What are the new coordinates of the point B’? Now reflect the point through the x-axis. What are the new coordinates of the point B’’? What is the relationship between the original point B and B’’? Can you describe this in terms of one reflection?

I already know the new points are (1,-4) and (-1,4)

anonymous · Answer

but I don't know how to describe the relationship or in terms of one reflection

anonymous · Answer

Okay...so when when you reflect it over the y axis, you negate the x coordinate, and when you reflect over the x-axis you negate the y coordinate, so what are the the points, 
B' and B''

huh???

anonymous · Answer

i already found the new points.. i just need help describing the relationship and describing it in terms of one reflection

anonymous · Answer

Well, you don't have the points fully correct. You have one of them, but not the final one.
