Question

Kite ABCD is rotated 180° clockwise about the origin and then reflected over the Y axis followed by reflection over the X axis. What is the location of point a after the transformations are complete? (5,-1), (-5,1), (-5,-1), (5,1)

Answer 1

Answer:

(-5, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a kite on the graph which is rotated 180° clockwise about the origin and then reflected over the Y axis followed by reflection over the X axis.

We are to find the coordinates of point A after the complete transformation.

A (-5, 1)

When a point is rotated 180° clockwise about the origin, the signs of its coordinates change.

A (-5, 1) ---> A' (5, -1) - after clockwise rotation of 180 degrees about origin

Then this point A' is reflected over the Y axis where the y coordinate remains the same but x coordinate changes its sign.

A' (5, -1) ---> A'' (-5, -1) - after reflection through y axis

Now this point A'' is reflected over the X axis where the x coordinate remains the same while y coordinates changes its sign.

A'' (-5, -1) ---> A''' (-5, 1) - after complete transformation
