What would the transformed coordinates be if A(6,9), B(-1,3) and C(-5,-3) were reflected over the line y=-x

I don't know about these transformed coordinates problems. :-(

OpenStudy (wintersuntime):

Thats okay thanks anyways (:

OpenStudy (wintersuntime):

need help !

We start off with these points. See the link to see the image. http://prntscr.com/b84r4d

OpenStudy (wintersuntime):

okay

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

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'` See link http://prntscr.com/b84rv0 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 ??

OpenStudy (wintersuntime):

oh okay thanks

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

B = (-1,3) ----> B ' = (-3,1)

no problem
