A line segment has endpoints at (9 ,1 )(9,1) and (5 ,3)(5,3). If the line segment is rotated about the origin by pi π, translated vertically by -1 1, and reflected about the x-axis, what will the line segment's new endpoints be?

(-9,2)" and "(-5,4)(9,2) and (5,4)

Explanation:

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