A line segment has endpoints at (4 ,2 )(4,2) and (5 ,3 )(5,3). If the line segment is rotated about the origin by ( 3 pi)/2 3π2, translated horizontally by 2 2, and reflected about the x-axis, what will the line segment's new endpoints be?

(4,4)" and "(5,5)(4,4) and (5,5)

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=(5,3)A=(4,2) and B=(5,3)

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(5,3)toB'(3,-5)

color(blue)"second transformation"

"under a horizontal transformation "((2),(0))

• " a point "(x,y)to(x+2,y)

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

B'(3,-5)toB''(5,-5)

color(blue)"third transformation"

"under a reflection in the x-axis"

• " a point "(x,y)to(x,-y)

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

B''(5,-5)toB'''(5,5)

"After all 3 transformations"

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