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 can follow these steps:
-
Reflect square ABCD across the x-axis:
- The original vertices are:
- A(3, -4) → A'(3, 4)
- B(7, -4) → B'(7, 4)
- C(7, -8) → C'(7, 8)
- D(3, -8) → D'(3, 8)
After this reflection, the vertices are:
- A' (3, 4)
- B' (7, 4)
- C' (7, 8)
- D' (3, 8)
-
Reflect square A'B'C'D' across the y-axis:
- Now, we apply the reflection across the y-axis which changes the x-coordinates from positive to negative:
- A'(3, 4) → A''(-3, 4)
- B'(7, 4) → B''(-7, 4)
- C'(7, 8) → C''(-7, 8)
- D'(3, 8) → D''(-3, 8)
-
Final vertices of square A''B''C''D'':
- A''(-3, 4)
- B''(-7, 4)
- C''(-7, 8)
- D''(-3, 8)
Therefore, the vertices of square A′B′C′D′ after both reflections 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).
