Answer:
X''(2, -5), Y''(3, -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
You know that reflection in the x-axis changes the sign of the y-coordinate. Points that used to be above the axis are now below by the same amount, and vice versa.
Rotation counterclockwise by 270° is the same as clockwise rotation by 90°. That maps the coordinates like this:
(x, y) ⇒ (y, -x)
The two transformations together give you ...
(x, y) ⇒ (x, -y) ⇒ (-y, -x) . . . . . . . . equivalent to reflection across y=-x.
Using this mapping, we have ...
X(5, -2) ⇒ X''(2, -5)
Y(3, -3) ⇒ Y''(3, -3) . . . . . . on the equivalent line of reflection, so invariant

Answer:
The slope is 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we must find the slope of the current equation.
This is the number in front of the x.
Seeing as this is -x, or -1x, the slope of this line is -1
When finding the slope of a line perpendicular, you need to find the
So, in this case it is:
The minuses cancel out, leaving with 1 over 1 or 1/
So the slope of the line perpendicular is 1!
