Question

What is the image of (5,−2) under the transformation r y=x?A. (−5,2)B. (5,2)C. (2,5)D. (−2,5)

Answer 1

Given the point:

(x, y) ==> (5, -2)

Let's find the image of the point under the transformation, y = x.

Apply the reflection rules.

After a reflection about the line y = x, we have the rule:

(x, y) ==> (y, x)

Therefore, the image of the point under the transformation, y = x is:

(5, -2) ==> (-2, 5)

• ANSWER:

D. (-2, 5)
