Question

Where is my phone? I seem to have lost my phone. I know where I last saw it but it has been moved since then and I need help to locate it. It started at the following coordinates A (14, -12); B (14, -19); C (10, -19); D (10, -14); E (13, -14); F (13, -12). My Mom told me she translated it 6 units to the left Then my little brother said he had reflected it over the Y-axis My friend many found it and translated it 9 units up Dad said he tripped over it and reflected it over the X-axis My sister then rotated it 900 clockwise Uncle Jose translated it 5 units left and 4 units down Cousin Michelle then said she rotated it 900 clockwise Finally my dog picked it up and translated it 5 units down and 10 units to the right Where is my phone? Using the scenario on this page do the following. Graph the preimage using the given points. Label points (A, B, C, ...)​ Transform the objects using the information provided. Show each transformation and label. (A', B', C', ...) Determine the final location. Write a 2 to 3 sentence explain on how you found the phone location.

Answer 1

see attached

Explanation:

The attachments show the initial (brown) and final (blue) positions of the phone. The spreadsheet shows all the intermediate locations and the formulas used to determine them.

The two reflections cancel the total of 180° of CW rotation, so the net result is simply a translation. That translation is up by 9 units.

Translation up adds to the y-coefficient; translation right adds to the x-coefficient. Down or left use negative values.

90° CW does this: (x, y) ⇒ (y, -x)

Reflection across y does this: (x, y) ⇒ (-x, y)

Reflection across x does this: (x, y) ⇒ (x, -y)
