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?

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 transformation−Under 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)
