A line segment has endpoints at (7 ,3 )(7,3) and (6 ,5)(6,5). If the line segment is rotated about the origin by (3pi )/2 3π2, translated vertically by 3 3, and reflected about the x-axis, what will the line segment's new endpoints be?

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

Explanation:

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

A(7,3)" and "B(6,5)A(7,3) and B(6,5)

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)

rArrA(7,3)toA'(3,-7)

rArrB(6,5)toB'(5,-6)

color(blue)"Second transformation"

"under a vertical translation "((0),(3))

• " a point "(x,y)to(x,y+3)

rArrA'(3,-7)toA''(3,-4)

rArrB'(5,-6)toB''(5,-3)

color(blue)"Third transformation"

"under a reflection in the x-axis"

• " a point "(x,y)to(x,-y)

rArrA''(3,-4)toA'''(3,4)

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

"After all 3 transformations"

(7,3)to(3,4)" and "(6,5)to(5,3)
