enter an ordered pair corresponding to a 180 degree counterclockwise rotation of the point (-6,-11) about the point (2,3) followed by a reflection in the line x=-4 followed by a translation using the rule (x,y) -> (x+8, y-1)

OpenStudy (study_together):

So, do you know the rule for a 180 degree rotation?

OpenStudy (kash_thesmartguy):

The rule is (x, y) -> (-x, -y)

OpenStudy (study_together):

stop giving away answers dude

OpenStudy (kash_thesmartguy):

So just plug in the coordinates for x and y, and then use the rule to figure it out

OpenStudy (mary1999):

so i would put in -6 for x and -11 for y?

OpenStudy (study_together):

no so it is (6,11)

OpenStudy (study_together):

then the rule for reflection over the x axis right?

OpenStudy (study_together):

What is the rule?

OpenStudy (mary1999):

the x and the y change places?

OpenStudy (study_together):

(x,y) --> (x,-y)

OpenStudy (study_together):

no, it is the one just posted above

OpenStudy (mary1999):

ok

OpenStudy (study_together):

and for the translation, if it helps you just draw it on a piece of paper.

OpenStudy (mary1999):

ok so

OpenStudy (mary1999):

i change the -6 and -11 to 6 and 11

OpenStudy (kash_thesmartguy):

Yes

OpenStudy (mary1999):

then it goes to 6,-11

OpenStudy (kash_thesmartguy):

Yes

OpenStudy (mary1999):

then i put that in for x and y

OpenStudy (mary1999):

6+8, -11+1

OpenStudy (kash_thesmartguy):

Yup

OpenStudy (mary1999):

so the answer is (14,-12)

OpenStudy (kash_thesmartguy):

Yeah that what I think

OpenStudy (mary1999):

so I do nothing with (2,3)

OpenStudy (kash_thesmartguy):

? Don't know

OpenStudy (mary1999):

Study_together am I right so far?
