Q. In the coordinate system, line y=x is the perpendicular bisector of segment AB and x axis is the perpendicular bisector of segment BC. If coordinates of A are (2,3) what are the coordinates of point C

Is it (3,-2)

EQ of line AB is X + y = 5
Pt. B is (3,2)
And hence pt. C is 3,-2

Since $$y=x$$ is perpendicular bisector of AB therefore Point B is the reflection of point A in that line.
So $$A = (2,3) -> B = (3,2)$$
Similarly , Point C is a reflection of point B in the x axis... So it's x coordinates is the same as point B and Y co-ordinate is flipped.

Hence $$C = (3,-2)$$

Please give Kudos if you like my explanation...
