A line segment has endpoints at (1 ,2 )(1,2) and (5 , 8 )(5,8). If the line segment is rotated about the origin by (3 pi ) /2 3π2, translated vertically by -3 3, and reflected about the y-axis, what will the line segment's new endpoints be?

(-2,-4)" and " (-8,-8)(2,4) and (8,8)

Explanation:

"Since there are 3 transformations to be performed name the "since there are 3 transformations to be performed name the
"endpoints A(1,2) and B(5,8)"endpoints A(1,2) and B(5,8)

"under a rotation about the origin of "(3pi)/2under a rotation about the origin of 3π2

• " a point "(x,y)to(y,-x) a point (x,y)(y,x)

• " a point "(x,y)to(x,y-3)

"after all 3 transformations"
