Question

Here's the result of this question

The point (-2,7) has undergone the following transformations:
1. Translated 1 unit up and 4 units left
Then
2. Reflected about the c-axis
Then
3. Rotated 90° anticlockwise about the origin

A) Its final coordinates are (3,-1)
B) Its final coordinates are (8,-6)
C) Its final coordinates are (-8,6)
D) Its final coordinates are (-3,1)

Answer 1

B) Its final coordinates are (8,-6)

Explanation:

1. Translated 1 unit up and 4 units left

(-2,7) becomes (-6, 8)

2. Reflected about the x-axis

(-6,8) becomes (-6, -8)

3. Rotated 90° anticlockwise about the origin

(-6, -8) becomes (8, -6) because when rotating 90 degrees anticlockwise about the origin, point A (x,y) becomes point A' (-y,x). In other words, switch the x and y and make y negative.
