3-52.

Where would the point be after each transformation described below? Write an integer expression to find each new coordinate. .

  1. Reflect across the -axis, then reflect that point across the -axis.

    What happens to a point once it is reflected across the -axis? How about the y-axis?

    When a point is reflected across the -axis, the only difference is that the -coordinate changes from negative to positive.

    When a point is reflected across the -axis, the only difference is that the -coordinate changes from positive to negative.

  2. Translate units to the right and units down.

    Moving to the right increases the -coordinate.
    Moving to the left decreases the -coordinate.
    Moving up increases the -coordinate.
    Moving down decreases the -coordinate.
