Point V is located at (2, 5) on the coordinate plane. Point V is reflected over the x-axis to create point V'. Point V' is then reflected over the y-axis to create point V". What ordered pair describes the location of V"?
When a point is reflected over the x-axis, the x-coordinate stays the same, but the y-coordinate becomes its opposite. Therefore, reflecting point V(2, 5) over the x-axis creates point V'(2, -5).
When a point is reflected over the y-axis, the y-coordinate stays the same, but the x-coordinate becomes its opposite. Therefore, reflecting point V'(2, -5) over the y-axis creates point V"(-2, -5).
Therefore, the location of point V" is (-2, -5).
