I used geogebra to plot the points and find their reflections. Reflect those points over the line y = -x to get `A'`, `B'` and `C'`
`A` reflects to get `A'`
`B` reflects to get `B'`
`C` reflects to get `C'`

Notice how the x and y coordinates swap places and how we have the coordinates change in sign (positive to negative or vice versa)
eg:
(-3,1) ----> (-1,3)
OpenStudy (wintersuntime):
so they are changing signs ?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
yes, for instance point `A` is at (6,9) in quadrant 1
it reflects over y = -x to land on point `A'` which is at (-9,-6) now in quadrant 3
the x and y coordinates switched places and switched signs too

Is it like that ??
