A line segment has endpoints at (2 , 1)(2,1) and (7 ,9)(7,9). If the line segment is rotated about the origin by pi π, translated horizontally by 44, and reflected about the y-axis, what will the line segment's new endpoints be?

(-2,-1)" and "(3,-9)(2,1) and (3,9)

Explanation:

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

A=(2,1)" and "B=(7,9)A=(2,1) and B=(7,9)

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

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

B(7,9)toB'(-7,-9)

color(blue)"second transformation"

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

• " a point "(x,y)to(x+4,y)

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

B'(-7,-9)toB''(-3,-9)

color(blue)"third transformation"

"under a reflection in the y-axis"

• " a point "(x,y)to(-x,y)

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

B''(-3,-9)toB'''(3,-9)

"After all 3 transformations"

(2,1)to(-2,-1)" and "(7,9)to(3,-9)
