Final answer:

The image point of (1,−9) after the transformation T2,3 ∘ rx-axis is (3, 12), found by first reflecting the point across the x-axis and then translating it right by 2 units and up by 3 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student has asked what the image point of (1,−9) would be after applying the transformation T2,3 ∘ rx-axis. To find the transformed point, we must apply the given transformations step by step.

  1. Reflection rx-axis: Reflect the point across the x-axis. The x-coordinate remains the same, but the y-coordinate changes sign. Therefore, (1,-9) becomes (1,9).
  2. Translation T2,3: Move the reflected point by 2 units right and 3 units up. Thus, (1,9) becomes (1+2, 9+3) which is (3, 12).

The image point after the transformation T2,3 ∘ rx-axis is (3, 12).
