Notice that every pair of point (x, y) in the original picture, has become (-y, -x) in the transformed figure.
Let ABC be first transformed onto A"B"C" by a 90° clockwise rotation.
Notice that B(4, 1) is mapped onto B''(1, -4). So the rule mapping ABC to A"B"C" is (x, y)→(y, -x)
so we are very close to (-y, -x).
The transformation that maps (y, -x) to (-y, -x) is a reflection with respect to the y-axis. Notice that the 2. coordinate is same, but the first coordinates are opposite.
