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

(2,5)" and "(1,4)(2,5) and (1,4)

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=(3,1)A=(4,2) and B=(3,1)

color(blue)"first transformation"first transformation

"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)

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

B(3,1)toB'(-1,3)

color(blue)"second transformation"

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

• " a point "(x,y)to(x,y+1)

A'(-2,4)toA''(-2,5)

B'(-1,3)toB''(-1,4)

color(blue)"third transformation"

"under a reflection in the y-axis"

• " a point "(x,y)to(-x,y)

A''(-2,5)toA'''(2,5)

B''(-1,4)toB'''(1,4)

"After all 3 transformations "

(4,2)to(2,5)" and "(3,1)to(1,4)
