Question

Perform the following series of rigid transformations on ∆ABC: Translate ∆ABC by moving it 5 units to the right and 2 units up. Draw the line y = -x, and reflect ∆A'B'C' across the line. Rotate ∆A''B''C'' counterclockwise about the origin by 270°.

Answer 1

The answer is below

Explanation:

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are rotation, reflection, translation and dilation.

If a point A(x, y) is translated a units right and b units up, the new point is at A'(x + a, y + b).

If a point A(x, y) is reflected across the line y = -x, the new point is at A'(-y, -x).

If a point A(x, y) is rotated counterclockwise by 270 degrees, the new point is at A'(y, -x).

Let us assume that triangle ABC has vertices at A(-6, -1), B(-3, -3) and C(-1, -2).

If it is moved 5 units to the right and 2 units up, the new point is at A'(-1, 1), B'(1, -1) and C'(3, 0). If it is reflected across the line y = -x, the vertices are at A"(-1, 1), B"(1, -1) and C"(0, -3). If it is then rotated counterclockwise about the origin by 270°, the new point is at A'"(-1, -1), B"'(1, 1), C"'(3, 0)
