Write the vertices of the image.
\ The first row represents the
–coordinates and the second row represents the

Find reflection along
-axis.
Write the vertex matrix for
is
.
Write the ordered pair as a vertex matrix.
\Then multiply the vertex matrix by the reflection the
-axis of symmetry.
.
The vertices are
and
.
Then multiply the vertex matrix by the reflection the
-axis of symmetry.
.
The vertices are
and
.
Compare the vertex matrices.
\The matrices are equal.
\ So, rotating
counterclockwise about the origin is the same as reflecting the figure in the
–axis, then in the
–axis.
