Question 869241: the coordinates of point A are (-3a,4b). if point a' is the image of point a reflected over the line y=x, the coordinates of a' are?

If you reflect any point (x,y) over the line y = x, you simply swap x and y to get the new point (y,x)

So (-3a, 4b) reflects over y = x to land on (4b, -3a)
