A line segment has endpoints at #(1 ,2 )# and #(9 ,4 )#. If the line segment is rotated about the origin by #( 3 pi)/2 #, translated vertically by # 3 #, and reflected about the x-axis, what will the line segment's new endpoints be?

#color(chocolate)("After all 3 transformations " color(maroon)((1, 2)to(-2, -2)" and "(9, 4)to(4, 6)#

Explanation:

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

#A(1, 2)" and "B(9, 4)#

#color(purple)"transformation of rotation about the origin of "(3pi) /2 #

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

#rArrA(1, 2)toA'(2, -1)#

#rArrB(9, 4)toB'(4, -9)#

#color(purple)"next transformation under a vertical translation " ((0),(3))#

#• " a point "(x,y)to(x, y + 3)#

#rArrA'(2, -1) to A''(2, 2)#

#rArrB'(4, -9) to B''(4, -6)#

#(2,-2)" and "(4,6)#

Explanation:

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

#A=(1,2)" and "B=(9,4)#

#color(blue)"first transformation"#

#"under a rotation about the origin of "(3pi)/2#

#• " a point "(x,y)to(y,-x)#

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

#B(9,4)toB'(4,-9)#

#color(blue)"second transformation"#

#"under a vertical translation "((0),(3))#

#"a point "(x,y)to(x,y+3)#

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

#B'(4,-9)toB''(4,-6)#

#color(blue)"third transformation"#

#"under a reflection in the x-axis"#

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

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

#B''(4,-6)toB'''(4,6)#

#"After all 3 transformations"#

#(1,2)to(2,-2)" and "(9,4)to(4,6)#
