A line segment has endpoints at (2 ,1 )(2,1) and (7 , 3 )(7,3). If the line segment is rotated about the origin by pi /2 π2, translated horizontally by 1 1, and reflected about the x-axis, what will the line segment's new endpoints be?

(0,-2)" and "(-2,-7)(0,2) and (2,7)

Explanation:

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

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

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

rArrA(2,1)toA'(-1,2)

rArrB(7,3)toB'(-3,7)

color(blue)"Second transformation"

"under a translation "((1),(0))

• " a point "(x,y)to(x+1,y)

rArrA'(-1,2)toA''(0,2)

rArrB'(-3,7)toB''(-2,7)

color(blue)"Third transformation"

"under a reflection in the x-axis"

• " a point "(x,y)to(x,-y)

rArrA''(0,2)toA'''(0,-2)

rArrB''(-2,7)toB'''(-2,-7)

"After all 3 transformations"

(2,1)to(0,-2)" and "(7,3)to(-2,-7)
