Point P (a, b), where neither a orbis equal to 0, is subject to the following operations, one after the other in any order: reflection about the x-axis, reflection about the y-axis, reflection about the origin.
What will be the final position of point P?

(a, b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are rotation, reflection, dilation and translation.

Reflection is the flipping of an object about a point. If a point A(x, y) is reflected over x axis, the new point is at A'(x, -y). If the a point A(x, y) is reflected over y axis, the new point is at A'(-x, y). If a point A(x, y) is reflected over origin, the new point is at A'(-x, -y).

Given point P(a, b). It reflection about the x-axis gives P'(a, -b), then the reflection about the y-axis gives P"(-a, -b). Lastly, reflection about the origin gives P"'(a, b)
