ABC has vertices A(1, 3), B(2, 5), and C(5, 3). What are the coordinates of B′ after the transformation (x, y) ⟶ (–y, x), then translation 1 unit right and 4 units up?

Answer 1

Answer: we first need to apply the transformation to the x- and y-coordinates of the point individually

Explanation:

To transform the coordinates of a point (x, y) using the transformation (x, y) ⟶ (–y, x), we first need to apply the transformation to the x- and y-coordinates of the point individually. This means that the x-coordinate becomes –y and the y-coordinate becomes x.

In the case of point B, the original coordinates are (2, 5), so the transformed coordinates are (–5, 2). This means that the x-coordinate becomes –5 and the y-coordinate becomes 2.

Next, we need to apply the translation that moves the point 1 unit right and 4 units up. To do this, we simply add 1 to the x-coordinate and add 4 to the y-coordinate. After this translation, the coordinates of B′ become (–4, 6). Therefore, the final coordinates of B′ are (–4, 6).
