Question

the point a is shown below.
reflect a across the x-axis.
then reflect the result across the y-axis.
plot the final point.
important: only plot the final point in your answer.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify coordinates of A

Point A is at $(4, -8)$

Step2: Reflect across x-axis

When reflecting across x-axis, $(x,y)\to(x,-y)$.
$\boldsymbol{(4, -8) \to (4, 8)}$

Step3: Reflect across y-axis

When reflecting across y-axis, $(x,y)\to(-x,y)$.
$\boldsymbol{(4, 8) \to (-4, 8)}$

Answer:

The final point is at $(-4, 8)$ (plot this point on the coordinate grid at the intersection of $x=-4$ and $y=8$)
