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
its alright xD working on your problem...
I would say D or C
could you be more precise?
trying to draw it out one sec....
sorry for the wait
its fine @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?
we reflect it?
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
A'(0, 3), B'(2, 3), C'(1, 1)
this is where i got lost....
?
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
the closes choice to my answer is D
was i right?
so which do you choose?
I believe your answer is right....

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
so the answer would be B
