Question

point e is located at (3, -5) on the coordinate plane. point e is reflected over the y - axis to create point e. point e is then reflected over the x - axis to create point e. what ordered pair describes the location of e?

Explanation:

Step1: Reflect over y - axis

When a point $(x,y)$ is reflected over the $y$-axis, the rule is $(x,y)\to(-x,y)$. Given point $E(3, - 5)$, after reflecting over the $y$-axis, $E'$ has coordinates $(-3,-5)$.

Step2: Reflect over x - axis

When a point $(x,y)$ is reflected over the $x$-axis, the rule is $(x,y)\to(x,-y)$. Since $E'$ has coordinates $(-3,-5)$, after reflecting over the $x$-axis, $E''$ has coordinates $(-3,5)$.

Answer:

$(-3,5)$
