Let point T the origin

so

The coordinates of point T are (0,0)

therefore

The coordinates of point T' are (-2,1)

Find out the distance TT'

Applying the formula to calculate the distance between two points


d=√((y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2)

substitute given coordinates


\begin{gathered} TT^(\prime)=√((1-0)^2+(-2-0)^2) \\ TT^(\prime)=√(1^2+-2^2) \\ TT^(\prime)=√(5) \\ TT^(\prime)=2.2\text{ units} \end{gathered}

The answer is TT'=2.2 units
