Answer:

a. F'(0, 5), G'(1, 0), H'(-3, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflection across x = -1 gives you the transformation ...

(x, y) ⇒ (-2 -x, y)

Reflection across y = 1 gives you the transformation ...

(x, y) ⇒ (x, 2 -y)

Together, these give you the transformation ...

(x, y) ⇒ (-2 -x, 2 -y)

Applying this to point F, we have ...

F(-2, -3) ⇒ F'(-2 -(-2), 2 -(-3)) = F'(0, 5) . . . . . . matches choice A

<em>How we found the transformation</em>

In general, if M is the midpoint between A and B, then you have ...

M = (A+B)/2

2M = A+B

B = 2M - A

So, if we want x=-1 to be the midpoint between x' and x, then we have ...

x' = 2(-1) -x = -2 -x

Likewise, if we want y=1 to be the midpoint between y' and y, then we have ...

y' = 2(1) -y = 2 -y

So, the transformation is ...

(x, y) ⇒ (x', y') = (-2 -x, 2 -y)

I’m kinda stuck on here on how to do this .... how am I suppose to go down again if it’s not gonna be on the line.

To graph the new shape, you must move each vertex down 3 units. This causes Q to become (1, 0), L to become (5, -2), and Q to become (1, 0). These values can be found by simply counting down by three for each point.

$ax^2+bx+c=0\\\\the\ vertex:\left(\frac{-b}{2a};\frac{-(b^2-4ac)}{4a}\right)\\\\y-intrcept=c\\=======================================\\\\4x^2-5x-15=0\\\\a=4;\ b=-5;\ c=-15\\\\\frac{-b}{2a}=\frac{-(-5)}{2\cdot4}=\frac{5}{8};\ \frac{-(b^2-4ac)}{4a}=\frac{-[(-5)^2-4\cdot4\cdot(-15)]}{4\cdot4}=-\frac{265}{16}\\\\\boxed{the\ vertex:\left(\frac{5}{8};-\frac{265}{16}\right)}\\\\\boxed{y-intercept:-15}$
