Question

The point (-4, -1), is the bottom of a triangle. Which point would it map to if the triangle was translated right 5 units and reflected about the x-axis.

Answer 1

(1, 1)

Explanation:

If we move the point (-4, -1) to the right 5 units, then we add 5 to the x value to give us (1, -1). We reflect (1, -1) in the x-axis, so we change the y value this time multiplying it by -1. The new point that (-4, -1) would be mapped onto would be:

(1, 1).

I hope this helps you!! ^-^

Answer 2

Explanation:

(x,y)→(x+5,y)

(-4,-1)→(-4+5,-1)=(1,-1)

reflection about x-axis

(x,y)→(x,-y)

(1,-1)→(1,1)
