Use the image to answer the question.

A coordinate plane shows the x- and y- axes ranging from negative 16 to 16 in increments of 2. The point left parenthesis 14 comma negative 15 right parenthesis is plotted on the plane.

The point (14, −15) is reflected across both the x - and y -axes. What are the coordinates of the reflected point?

Answer 1

The point (14, -15) is reflected across the x-axis, so the y-coordinate will change sign. The x-coordinate remains the same.

Reflected point across x-axis: (14, 15)

Then, the reflected point is also reflected across the y-axis. The x-coordinate will change sign, and the y-coordinate remains the same.

Reflected point across y-axis: (-14, 15)

Therefore, the coordinates of the reflected point are (-14, 15).
