Chinara starts with the point (3,5)(3,5), and applies the following three-step process, which we call P\mathcal{P} : Step 1: Reflect the point in the xx-axis. Step 2: Translate the resulting point 2 units upwards. Step 3: Reflect the resulting point in the yy-axis. As she does this, the point (3,5)(3,5) moves to (3,5)(3,-5), then to (3,3)(3,-3), and then to (3,3)(-3,-3). Chinara then starts with a different point S0S_{0}. She applies the three-step process P\mathcal{P} to the point S0S_{0} and obtains the point S1S_{1}. She then applies P\mathcal{P} to S1S_{1} to obtain the point S2S_{2}. She applies P\mathcal{P} four more times, each time using the previous output of P\mathcal{P} to be the new input, and eventually obtains the point S6(7,1)S_{6}(-7,-1). What are the coordinates of the point S0S_{0} ?
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
Chinara starts with the point (3,5), and applies the following three-step process, which we call P :

Step 1: Reflect the point in the x-axis.

Step 2: Translate the resulting point 2 units upwards.

Step 3: Reflect the resulting point in the y-axis.

As she does this, the point (3,5) moves to (3,−5), then to (3,−3), and then to (−3,−3).

Chinara then starts with a different point S₀. She applies the three-step process P to the point S₀ and obtains the point S₁. She then applies P to S₁ to obtain the point S₂. She applies P four more times, each time using the previous output of P to be the new input, and eventually obtains the point S₆(−7,−1). What are the coordinates of the point S₀ ?
Original LaTeX notation
Chinara starts with the point $(3,5)$, and applies the following three-step process, which we call $\mathcal{P}$ :

Step 1: Reflect the point in the $x$-axis.

Step 2: Translate the resulting point 2 units upwards.

Step 3: Reflect the resulting point in the $y$-axis.

As she does this, the point $(3,5)$ moves to $(3,-5)$, then to $(3,-3)$, and then to $(-3,-3)$.

Chinara then starts with a different point $S_{0}$. She applies the three-step process $\mathcal{P}$ to the point $S_{0}$ and obtains the point $S_{1}$. She then applies $\mathcal{P}$ to $S_{1}$ to obtain the point $S_{2}$. She applies $\mathcal{P}$ four more times, each time using the previous output of $\mathcal{P}$ to be the new input, and eventually obtains the point $S_{6}(-7,-1)$. What are the coordinates of the point $S_{0}$ ?
