A line segment has endpoints at (4 , 2)(4,2) and (2 ,3)(2,3). If the line segment is rotated about the origin by (3pi)/2 3π2, translated horizontally by 77, and reflected about the x-axis, what will the line segment's new endpoints be?

(9,4)" and "(10,2)(9,4) and (10,2)

Explanation:

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

A=(4,2)" and "B=(2,3)A=(4,2) and B=(2,3)

color(blue)"first transformation"first transformation

"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)

A(4,2)toA'(2,-4)

B(2,3)toB'(3,-2)

color(blue)"second transformation"

"under a horizontal translation "((7),(0))

• " a point "(x,y)to(x+7,y)

A'(2,-4)toA''(9,-4)

B'(3,-2)toB''(10,-2)

color(blue)"third transformation"

"under a reflection in the x-axis"

• " a point "(x,y)to(x,-y)

A''(9,-4)toA'''(9,4)

B''(10,-2)toB'''(10,2)

"After all 3 transformations"

(4,2)to(9,4)" and "(2,3)to(10,2)
