ΔABC with vertices A(-3, 0), B(-2, 3), C(-1, 1) is rotated 180° clockwise about the origin. It is then reflected across the line y = -x. What are the coordinates of the vertices of the image? A'(0, 3), B'(2, 3), C'(1, 1) A'(0, -3), B'(3, -2), C'(1, -1) A'(-3, 0), B'(-3, 2), C'(-1, 1) A'(0, -3), B'(-2, -3), C'(-1, -1)

@563blackghost sorry accidentally closed other one

563blackghost (563blackghost):

its alright xD working on your problem...

563blackghost (563blackghost):

I would say D or C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you be more precise?

563blackghost (563blackghost):

trying to draw it out one sec....

563blackghost (563blackghost):

sorry for the wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its fine @563blackghost

563blackghost (563blackghost):

The ABC is rotated 180 degrees about the origin which the new coordinates are A(3,0) , B(2,-3) and C(1,-1).....now we need to reflect across the line y=-x...how do we do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we reflect it?

563blackghost (563blackghost):

exactly but we need to do the line of reflection of y=-x so what would be the new coordinates http://www.virtualnerd.com/pre-algebra/geometry/transformations-symmetry/define-transformations/line-of-reflection-definition

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A'(0, 3), B'(2, 3), C'(1, 1)

563blackghost (563blackghost):

this is where i got lost....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

563blackghost (563blackghost):

what you did was reflect it across the x-axis but we need to do y=-x reflected and i got A(-3,0) B(-2,-3) and C(-1,-1) but its not one of the choices

563blackghost (563blackghost):

the closes choice to my answer is D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

was i right?

563blackghost (563blackghost):

so which do you choose?

563blackghost (563blackghost):

I believe your answer is right....

563blackghost (563blackghost):

it says on this link that for y=-x the x and y coordinates are swap so the x-coordinate would be in place of the y-coordinate and the y-coordinate would be in place of the x-coordinate + the sign changes

563blackghost (563blackghost):

so the answer would be B
