A line segment has endpoints at (2 , 1)(2,1) and (7 ,6)(7,6). If the line segment is rotated about the origin by pi π, translated horizontally by -3 3, and reflected about the y-axis, what will the line segment's new endpoints be?

(5,-1)" and "(10,-6)(5,1) and (10,6)

Explanation:

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

A=(2,1)" and "B=(7,6)A=(2,1) and B=(7,6)

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

A(2,1)toA'(-2,-1)

B(7,6)toB'(-7,-6)

"under a horizontal translation "((-3),(0))

• " a point "(x,y)to(x-3,y)

A'(-2,-1)toA''(-5,-1)

B'(-7,-6)toB''(-10,-6)

color(blue)"third transformation"

"under a reflection in the y-axis"

• " a point "(x,y)to(-x,y)

A''(-5,-1)toA'''(5,-1)

B''(-10,-6)toB'''(10,-6)

"After all 3 transformations"

(2,1)to(5,-1)" and "(7,6)to(10,-6)
