A line segment has endpoints at (7 ,5 )(7,5) and (8 ,2 )(8,2). If the line segment is rotated about the origin by pi π, translated horizontally by - 1 1, and reflected about the x-axis, what will the line segment's new endpoints be?

(-8,5)" and "(-9,2)(8,5) and (9,2)

Explanation:

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

A=(7,5)" and "B=(8,2)A=(7,5) and B=(8,2)

"under a rotation about the origin of "piunder a rotation about the origin of π

• " a point "(x,y)to(-x,-y) a point (x,y)(x,y)

A(7,5)toA'(-7,-5)

B(8,2)toB'(-8,-2)

color(blue)"second transformation"

"under a horizontal translation "((-1),(0))

• " a point "(x,y)to(x-1,y)

A'(-7,-5)toA''(-8,-5)

B'(-8,-2)toB''(-9,-2)

color(blue)"third transformation"

"under a reflection in the x-axis"

• " a point " (x,y)to(x,-y)

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

B''(-9,-2)toB'''(-9,2)

"After all 3 transformations"

(7,5)to(-8,5)" and "(8,2)to(-9,2)
