Question

Point S is reflected about the x-axis in the coordinate plane and then rotated 90°

Answer 1

Answer:

D. S’ is the result of switching coordinates of S.

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Type of transformation are translation, reflection, rotation and dilation.

If a point A(x, y) is reflected along the x axis, the new point is A'(x, -y). If a point A(x, y) is rotated 90°  counterclockwise about the origin, the new point is A'(-y, x).

Let us assume that S is at (x, y). Hence, if point S is reflected about the x-axis in the coordinate plane to get (x, -y). If it is then rotated 90°  counterclockwise about the origin, the new point is at  S'(y, x). S’ is the result of switching coordinates of S
