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:

  1. Reflect across the x-axis:

    • The rule for reflecting a point \( (x, y) \) across the x-axis is \( (x, -y) \).
    • Applying this to each vertex:
      • A \( (3, -4) \) becomes A' \( (3, 4) \)
      • B \( (7, -4) \) becomes B' \( (7, 4) \)
      • C \( (7, -8) \) becomes C' \( (7, 8) \)
      • D \( (3, -8) \) becomes D' \( (3, 8) \)
  2. Reflect across the y-axis:

    • The rule for reflecting a point \( (x, y) \) across the y-axis is \( (-x, y) \).
    • Applying this to the new vertices:
      • A' \( (3, 4) \) becomes A'' \( (-3, 4) \)
      • B' \( (7, 4) \) becomes B'' \( (-7, 4) \)
      • C' \( (7, 8) \) becomes C'' \( (-7, 8) \)
      • D' \( (3, 8) \) becomes D'' \( (-3, 8) \)

So, the vertices 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).
