Hi, I don't get this math question
'When the points A(-4,0), B(0,-4), c(4,0) and D(0,4) are connected in order, square ABCD is drawn, a. Show that the line y=x is a line of symmetry for the square.
b. Show that the y-axis is a line of symmetry for the square.
I graphed the coordinates for it when its reflected over the line y=x and the y-axis, but I'm still unsure of how to show that it is a line symmetry.
Thank you!

You already answered it when you said it is " reflected over the line y=x".
That is what symmetry means...for each point on one side ot the line y=x, there is a corresponding point at the same distance on the other side.
Well done!
