A line segment has endpoints at (1 ,7 )(1,7) and (3 ,1 )(3,1). If the line segment is rotated about the origin by pi π, translated horizontally by - 4 4, and reflected about the y-axis, what will the line segment's new endpoints be?

(5,-7)" and "(7,-1)(5,7) and (7,1)

Explanation:

"Since there are 3 transformations to be oerformed label"since there are 3 transformations to be oerformed label
"the endpoints"the endpoints

A=(1,7)" and "B=(3,1)A=(1,7) and B=(3,1)

"under a rotation about the origin of "piunder a rotation about the origin of π

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

A(1,7)toA'(-1,-7)

B(3,1)toB'(-3,-1)

color(blue)"second transformation"

"under a horizontal translation "((-4),(0))

• " a point "(x,y)to(x-4,y)

A'(-1,-7)toA''(-5,-7)

B'(-3,-1)toB''(-7,-1)

color(blue)"third transformation"

"under a reflection in the y-axis"

• " a point "(x,y)to(-x,y)

A''(-5,-7)toA'''(5,-7)

B''(-7,-1)toB'''(7,-1)

"After all 3 transformations"

(1,7)to(5,-7)" and "(3,1)to(7,-1)
