Question

"What is the y value in A'? First reflect about the x-axis, then translate (or one to the right...) (∘−)((−3,2))=′(−2,?)"

a) y = -2
b) y = -4
c) y = 0
d) y = 6

Answer 1

The y value in point A' after reflecting about the x-axis and translating one unit to the right is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asked to find the y value of the point A' after it has undergone two transformations: A reflection about the x-axis followed by a translation one unit to the right. Starting with the initial point (-3, 2), reflecting it about the x-axis changes the sign of the y-coordinate, resulting in the point (-3, -2). Subsequently translating this reflected point one unit to the right changes the x-coordinate by adding 1, resulting in the point (-2, -2).

The y value in A' after these transformations is -2.
