Coord Geo, Rotating 90 degrees: https://www.prepswift.com/gre-quant

Can I just use the same logic Greg explained for reflection across axes?

Reflecting across an axes is going to be different. If you are reflecting over the x-axis, the point (a,b) is going to become (a, -b). The x-coordinate wouldn’t change.

On the other hand, if you are reflecting over the y-axis, the point (a, b) would become (-a, b).

When you rotate 90 degrees, there is potential for both the x and y coordinate to change. Try drawing out some examples and see what you notice!

you’re right. Thanks!
