The point (14, -15) is reflected across both the X and Y axis what are the coordinates of the reflected point

1 answer

To reflect the point \((14, -15)\) across the X and Y axes, we can follow these steps:

  1. Reflect across the X-axis: To reflect a point \((x, y)\) across the X-axis, we change the sign of the y-coordinate. Therefore, the reflection of \((14, -15)\) across the X-axis is: \[ (14, 15) \]

  2. Reflect across the Y-axis: Next, to reflect the point \((14, 15)\) across the Y-axis, we change the sign of the x-coordinate. Therefore, the reflection of \((14, 15)\) across the Y-axis is: \[ (-14, 15) \]

Thus, the coordinates of the point after reflecting across both the X and Y axes are \((-14, 15)\).
