Answer:

  • P''(2, 1)
  • N''(1, -2)
  • B''(5, -3)

Explanation:

You want the image coordinates for P(2, 2), N(3, -1), and B(-1, -2) after translation by (x, y) ⇒ (x, y-1) and reflection over x = 2.

Reflection

Reflection over x=2 is the transformation ...

(x, y) ⇒ (4 -x, y)

Glide Reflection

When the reflection occurs after the given translation, the composite transformation is ...

(x, y) ⇒ (4 -x, y -1)

Then the image points are ...

P(2, 2) ⇒ P''(4 -2, 2 -1) = P''(2, 1)

N(3, -1) ⇒ N''(4 -3, -1 -1) = N''(1, -2)

B(-1, -2) ⇒ B''(4 -(-1), -2 -1) = B''(5, -3)

The transformed coordinates are ...

  • P''(2, 1)
  • N''(1, -2)
  • B''(5, -3)

Additional comment

Reflection over x=a has the transformation (x, y) ⇒ (2a -x, y). Similarly, the reflection over y=a has the transformation (x, y) ⇒ (x, 2a -y).

Note that point P lies on the line of reflection, so its x-coordinate is unchanged.
