A line segment has endpoints at (3 , 1)(3,1) and (2 ,3)(2,3). If the line segment is rotated about the origin by pi π, translated horizontally by 44, and reflected about the x-axis, what will the line segment's new endpoints be?

The new endpoints are
Explanation:
Let's apply each of the transformations to both points, one at a time:
Horizontal translation by
Reflection over the
