A segment with endpoints (3, 9) and (2, 1) is reflected across the line y = x. Which matrix expression represents the transformation?

@hartnn

OpenStudy (dan815):

flipping across the y=x line will make the ys,xs and xs ys

OpenStudy (dan815):

so option d

OpenStudy (dan815):

wait a second.. that might not be right

OpenStudy (dan815):

its option b

OpenStudy (dan815):

option d only switches the rows

OpenStudy (dan815):

option b gives us what we want exapand it to see

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lol why the given points are not there in any of the options

OpenStudy (dan815):

ohh i took it to be -3

OpenStudy (dan815):

i didnt think theyd play this kind of a trick on you!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[ \left[ \begin{array}{cc} x \\ y \\ \end{array} \right] \to \left[ \begin{array}{cc} y \\ x \\ \end{array} \right] \]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

haaha clearly its a row switching so the transformation matrix need to be on left side so either C or D is the right option... but they dont have correct input points :/

OpenStudy (dan815):

hey but that row switching operations wont that still produce the same row operations on an x y column matrix

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

something like below, right ? \[ \left[ \begin{array}{cc} 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0\\ \end{array} \right] \bullet \left[ \begin{array}{cc} 3 & 2 \\ 9 & 1\\ \end{array} \right] \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there's the full question

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

only options are visible ^ check once..

OpenStudy (dan815):

ganeshi can u explain

OpenStudy (dan815):

nevermind i get it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (dan815):

its D, you need to only do row switching operation in this case

OpenStudy (dan815):

the top column are the set of Xs and the bottom are your Ys so switching the Xs and the Ys give us reflection on y=x

OpenStudy (dan815):

the top row*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see... Can you help me translate an image up and to the left?

OpenStudy (dan815):

okay

OpenStudy (dan815):

with matrix right?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

looks u r so much attached to the previous problem :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol sorry, the snapshots keep messing up :/

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

option B will work for xy plane

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\( \left[ \begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 0 & \color{red}{-2} \\ 0 & 1 & \color{red}{4} \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \\ \end{array} \right] \bullet \left[ \begin{array}{ccx} x \\ y\\ 1 \\ \end{array} \right] = \left[ \begin{array}{ccx} x-2 \\ y+4\\ 1 \\ \end{array} \right] \)
