Bottom right

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes |dw:1415600726348:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

we have some point there, (a,b) |dw:1415600743226:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

we start with (a,b) and we get to (a,-b). What is the change?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if it helps, pick numbers to replace 'a' and 'b'. Make sure you are in quadrant 4

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

for example, say a = 2, b = -3 |dw:1415601193975:dw|
