Question

Triangle a is reflected in the x-axis to give B. Triangle B is reflected in the y axis to give C. Describe fully the single transformation that maps a to c

Answer 1

Answer:

sorry I don't know

Answer 2

Answer:

1.  The first transformation, the translation 4 units down, can be described with the following symbols:

(x, y) → (x, y-4).

as the points are shifted 4 units vertically, down. Thus the x-coordinates of the points do not change.

A'(1, 1) → A"(1, 1-4)=A"(1, -3).

B'(2, 3) → B"(2, 3-4)=B"(2, -1).

C'(5, 0) → C"(5, 0-4)=C"(5, -4).

2.  The second transformation can be described with:

(x, y) → (x, -y).  

as a reflection with respect to the x-axis maps:

for example, (5, -7) to (5, 7), or (-3, -4) to (-3, 4)

thus, under this transformation A", B", C" are mapped to A', B' and C' as follows:

A"(1, -3)→A'(1, -(-3))=A'(1, 3)

B"(2, -1)→B'(2, -(-1))=B'(2, 1)

C"(5, -4)→C'(5, -(-4))=C'(5, 4)

A'(1, 3),  B'(2, 1),   C'(5, 4)

Hope this was helpful!
