A point is reflected over the x-axis and then reflected over the y-axis. Will the coordinates after these two reflections be the same or different if the point is first reflected over the y-axis and then over the x-axis? Use an example to support your answer. Please help me!

2. Hey, just try it
y2 = -y1
x2 = -x1
==========then
x2 = -x1
y2 = -y1 :)
