Use the image to answer the question.

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.

Answer 1

To reflect square ABCD across the x-axis and then the y-axis, let's first find the coordinates after each reflection step.

1. Reflecting across the x-axis:

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

   So, after reflecting across the x-axis, the new coordinates are:

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

2. Reflecting across the y-axis:

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

Thus, after both reflections, the coordinates of square A′B′C′D′ are:

• A′(−3, 4)
• B′(−7, 4)
• C′(−7, 8)
• D′(−3, 8)

The correct response is:

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