A line segment has endpoints at (9 ,4 )(9,4) and (1 , 8 )(1,8). If the line segment is rotated about the origin by pi /2 π2, translated horizontally by 5 5, and reflected about the y-axis, what will the line segment's new endpoints be?

(-1,9)" and "(3,1)(1,9) and (3,1)

Explanation:

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

A=(9,4)" and "B=(1,8)A=(9,4) and B=(1,8)

color(blue)"first transformation"first transformation

"under a rotation about the origin of "pi/2under a rotation about the origin of π2

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

A(9,4)toA'(-4,9)

B(1,8)toB'(-8,1)

color(blue)"second transformation"

"under a horizontal translation "((5),(0))

• " a point "(x,y)to(x+5,y)

A'(-4,9)toA''(1,9)

B'(-8,1)toB''(-3,1)

color(blue)"third transformation"

"under a reflection in the y-axis"

• " a point "(x,y)to(-x,y)

A''(1,9)toA'''(-1,9)

B''(-3,1)toB'''(3,1)

"After all 3 transformations"

(9,4)to(-1,9)" and "(1,8)to(3,1)
