question
point u is located at (5, 2) on the coordinate plane. point u is reflected over the y - axis to create point u. point u is then reflected over the x - axis to create point u. what ordered pair describes the location of u?
answer attempt 1 out of 2
u (□, □)

Explanation:

Step1: Reflect over y-axis

For a point $(x,y)$, reflection over y-axis gives $(-x,y)$.
For $U(5,2)$, $U' = (-5, 2)$

Step2: Reflect over x-axis

For a point $(x,y)$, reflection over x-axis gives $(x,-y)$.
For $U'(-5,2)$, $U'' = (-5, -2)$

Answer:

$(-5, -2)$
