Exploring Reflection Patterns

Select one letter at a time. Reflect the shape over the given lines. Record any observations and patterns. Pay close attention to the order of the coordinates and the signs!!!
1) What happened to the coordinates of "K" as it reflected over the x-axis? Is the pattern the same for "H" and "J"?
2) What happened to the coordinates of "K" as it reflected over the y-axis? Is the pattern the same for "H" and "J"?
3) What happened to the coordinates of "K" as it reflected over the line y=x? Is the pattern the same for "H" and "J"?
4) What happened to the coordinates of "K" as it reflected over the line y=-x? Is the pattern the same for "H" and "J"?
For the questions below use the points {(-2,4),(-3,1),(-6,5),(-7,2)}
1) What would be the coordinates after reflecting over the x-axis?
2) What would be the coordinates after reflecting over the y-axis?
3) What would be the coordinates after reflecting over the line y=x?
4) What would be the coordinates after reflecting over the line y=-x?
