An illustration shows a coordinate plane with four quadrants. The x-axis ranges from negative 9 to 9 in one unit increments. The y-axis ranges from negative 11 to 11 in one unit increments. Four points are plotted. A square is graphed using the four plotted points as vertices. Point A is plotted at coordinates left parenthesis 3 comma negative 4 right parenthesis. Point B is plotted at coordinates left parenthesis 7 comma negative 4 right parenthesis. Point C is plotted at coordinates left parenthesis 7 comma negative 8 right parenthesis. Point D is plotted at coordinates left parenthesis 3 comma negative 8 right parenthesis. Points A, B, C, and D are connected by solid lines to form square A B C D.

To find the vertices of square A'B'C'D' after reflecting square ABCD first across the x-axis and then across the y-axis, we will follow these steps.

  1. Reflect across the x-axis: This changes the y-coordinates of the vertices. The points A(3, -4), B(7, -4), C(7, -8), and D(3, -8) will become:

    • A'(3, 4)
    • B'(7, 4)
    • C'(7, 8)
    • D'(3, 8)
  2. Reflect across the y-axis: This changes the x-coordinates of the vertices. The reflected points A'(3, 4), B'(7, 4), C'(7, 8), and D'(3, 8) will become:

    • A''(-3, 4)
    • B''(-7, 4)
    • C''(-7, 8)
    • D''(-3, 8)

Thus, the vertices of square A'B'C'D' are:

  • A'(-3, 4)
  • B'(-7, 4)
  • C'(-7, 8)
  • D'(-3, 8)

So, the correct response is:

Square A′B′C′D′ has vertices A′(−3,4), B′(−7,4), C′(−7,8), and D′(−3,8).
