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

$\left(- 5 , - 2\right) \text{ and } \left(- 2 , - 7\right)$

#### Explanation:

$\text{Since there are 3 transformations to be performed label}$
$\text{the endpoints}$

$A \left(2 , 6\right) \text{ and } B \left(7 , 3\right)$

$\textcolor{b l u e}{\text{First transformation}}$

$\text{under a rotation about the origin of } \frac{\pi}{2}$

• " a point "(x,y)to(-y,x)

$\Rightarrow A \left(2 , 6\right) \to A ' \left(- 6 , 2\right)$

$\Rightarrow B \left(7 , 3\right) \to B ' \left(- 3 , 7\right)$

$\textcolor{b l u e}{\text{Second transformation}}$

$\text{under a translation } \left(\begin{matrix}1 \\ 0\end{matrix}\right)$

• " a point "(x,y)to(x+1,y)

$\Rightarrow A ' \left(- 6 , 2\right) \to A ' ' \left(- 5 , 2\right)$

$\Rightarrow B ' \left(- 3 , 7\right) \to B ' ' \left(- 2 , 7\right)$

$\textcolor{b l u e}{\text{Third transformation}}$

$\text{under a reflection in the x-axis}$

• " a point "(x,y)to(x,-y)

$\Rightarrow A ' ' \left(- 5 , 2\right) \to A ' ' ' \left(- 5 , - 2\right)$

$\Rightarrow B ' ' \left(- 2 , 7\right) \to B ' ' ' \left(- 2 , - 7\right)$

$\text{After all 3 transformations}$

$\left(2 , 6\right) \to \left(- 5 , - 2\right) \text{ and } \left(7 , 3\right) \to \left(- 2 , - 7\right)$
