A line segment has endpoints at (7 , 4)(7,4) and (2 , 5)(2,5). If the line segment is rotated about the origin by (3pi)/2 3π2, translated horizontally by -33, and reflected about the y-axis, what will the line segment's new endpoints be?

(-1,-7)" and "(-2,-2)(1,7) and (2,2)

Explanation:

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

A=(7,4)" and "B=(2,5)A=(7,4) and B=(2,5)

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)

A(7,4)toA'(4,-7)

B(2,5)toB'(5,-2)

color(blue)"second transformation"

"under a horizontal translation "((-3),(0))

• " a point "(x,y)to(x-3,y)

A'(4,-7)toA''(1,-7)

B'(5,-2)toB''(2,-2)

color(blue)"third transformation"

"under a reflection in the y-axis"

• " a point "(x,y)to(-x,y)

A''(1,-7)toA'''(-1,-7)

B''(2,-2)toB'''(-2,-2)

"After all 3 transformations"

(7,4)to(-1,-7)" and "(2,5)to(-2,-2)
