A line segment has endpoints at (3 , 4)(3,4) and (1 ,9)(1,9). If the line segment is rotated about the origin by (3pi)/2 3π2, translated horizontally by -22, and reflected about the x-axis, what will the line segment's new endpoints be?

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

Explanation:

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

A(3,4)" and "B(1,9)A(3,4) and B(1,9)

"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)

rArrA(3,4)toA'(4,-3)

rArrB(1,9)toB'(9,-1)

color(blue)"Second transformation"

"under a translation "((-2),(0))

• " a point "(x,y)to(x-2,y)

rArrA'(4,-3)toA''(2,-3)

rArrB'(9,-1)toB''(7,-1)

color(blue)"Third transformation"

"under a reflection about the x-axis"

• " a point "(x,y)to(x,-y)

rArrA''(2,-3)toA'''(2,3)

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

"After all 3 transformations"

(3,4)to(2,3)" and "(1,9)to(7,1)
