Answer:
A, M, N, F
Step-by-step explanation:
I find it easier to look at the graph, rather than mess with the coordinate transformations. Each image point is the same distance from the line of reflection that its pre-image point is. The line joining the two points is perpendicular to the line of reflection.
See attached for the reflected points.
__
The red and turquoise dashed lines are the lines y=x and y=-x, respectively. The same-colored arrows show the reflection of the relevant point.
_____
The transformations of interest are ...
(x, y) ⇒ (y, x) . . . . reflection over y = x
(x, y) ⇒ (-x, y) . . . . reflection over y-axis
(x, y) ⇒ (x, -y) . . . . reflection over x-axis
(x, y) ⇒ (-y, -x) . . . . reflection over y = -x
