A line segment has endpoints at (6 ,5 )(6,5) and (5 ,7)(5,7). If the line segment is rotated about the origin by pi /2 π2, translated vertically by 2 2, and reflected about the x-axis, what will the line segment's new endpoints be?

(-5,-8)" and "(-7,-7)(5,8) and (7,7)

Explanation:

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

A=(6,5)" and "B=(5,7)A=(6,5) and B=(5,7)

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(6,5)toA'(-5,6)

B(5,7)toB'(-7,5)

color(blue)"second transformation"

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

• " a point "(x,y)to(x,y+2)

A'(-5,6)toA''(-5,8)

B'(-7,5)toB''(-7,7)

color(blue)"third transformation"

"under a reflection in the x-axis"

• " a point "(x,y)to(x,-y)

A''(-5,8)toA'''(-5,-8)

B''(-7,7)toB'''(-7,-7)

"After all 3 transformations"

(6,5)to(-5,-8)" and "(5,7)to(-7,-7)
