  • Reflection about the y-axis has rule (x,y)→(-x,y);
  • Reflection about the x-axis has rule: (x,y)→(x,-y).

Consider rectangle ABCD and select, for example point A(-5,1).The set of reflections about the y-axis, x-axis, y-axis, x-axis will act on A in following way:

  1. about y-axis A(-5,1)→A'(5,1);
  2. about x-axis A'(5,1)→A''(5,-1);
  3. about y-axis A''(5,-1)→A'''(-5,-1);
  4. about x-axis A'''(-5,-1)→A(-5,1).

This reflections act on all rectangle vertices in the same way, then

the set of reflections that carry rectangle ABCD onto itself is

y-axis, x-axis, y-axis, x-axis
