A line segment has endpoints at (7 ,6 )(7,6) and (5 ,3 )(5,3). If the line segment is rotated about the origin by pi π, translated horizontally by - 4 4, and reflected about the y-axis, what will the line segment's new endpoints be?

(11,-6)" and " (9,-3)(11,6) and (9,3)

Explanation:

Since there are 3 transformations to be performed here, label the endpoints A(7 ,6) and B(5 ,3)

color(blue)"First transformation"- "Under a rotation about origin of "piFirst transformationUnder a rotation about origin of π

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

Hence A(7 ,6) → A'(-7 ,-6) and B(5 ,3) → B'(-5 ,-3)

color(blue)"Second transformation "-"Under a translation" ((-4),(0))

"a point "(x,y)to(x-4,y)

Hence A'(-7 ,-6) → A''(-11 ,-6) and B'(-5 ,-3) →B''(-9 ,-3)

color(blue)"Third transformation"-" Under a reflection in the y-axis"

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

Hence A''(-11 ,-6) → A'''(11 ,-6) and B''(-9 ,-3) → B'''(9 ,-3)

After all 3 transformations.

(7,6)to(11,-6)" and " (5,3)to(9,-3)
