A line segment has endpoints at (7 ,2 )(7,2) and (3 , 2 )(3,2). If the line segment is rotated about the origin by (3 pi ) /2 3π2, translated vertically by -4 4, and reflected about the y-axis, what will the line segment's new endpoints be?

(-2,-11)" and "(-2,-7)(2,11) and (2,7)

Explanation:

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

"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(7,2)toA'(2,-7)

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

color(blue)"second transformation"

"under a translation"((0),(-4))

• " a point "(x,y)to(x,y-4)

rArrA'(2,-7)toA''(2,-11)

rArrB'(2,-3)toB''(2,-7)

color(blue)"third transformation"

"under a reflection in the y-axis"

• " a point "(x,y)to(-x,y)

rArrA''(2,-11)toA'''(-2,-11)

rArrB''(2,-7)toB'''(-2,-7)

"after all 3 transformations"

(7,2)to(-2,-11)" and "(3,2)to(-2,-7)
