Answer:
Numbering the options, we have;
1) Side B'A' has a slope of −1 and is perpendicular to side BA.
2) Side B'A' has a slope of 1 and is parallel to side BA.
3) Side B'A' has a slope of 1 and is perpendicular to side BA.
4) Side B'A' has a slope of −1 and is parallel to side BA.
The correct option is;
1) Side B'A' has a slope of -1 and is perpendicular to side BA
Step-by-step explanation:
The given coordinates are;
A(3, 5) B(1, 3), C(5, -1) and D(7, 1)
The slope of BA is found as follows;
Rotation of a line through 90 degrees gives
(x, y) will be (y, -x)
Therefore, the coordinates of A' = (5, -3)
The coordinates of B' = (3, -1)
Then the slope is given as follows;
Therefore side B'A' has a slope of -1 and is perpendicular to side BA.
