@Vocaloid

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

reflect across the x-axis first then translate right and up as needed

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

ok so first lets figure out what the sequence of transformations that changes figure ABCD to figure A'B'C'D'.

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

well the first step is to write the sequence of transformations that changes figure ABCD to figure A'B'C'D'.@Vocaloid

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

those are the steps

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

it's up to you to figure out the numbers

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

ok... um how do i find the numbers.. ?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

what are the coordinates of ABCD after a reflection across the x-axis? draw it out if you need to

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

um idk.. how to figure that out..

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

draw it

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

but thats the problem i dont know what to do at all? i dont even know what to draw..

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

|dw:1464840900120:dw|

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

what are the coordinates of A, B, C, and D?

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

what are coordinates?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

the x and y values

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

ok and how do i find the coordinates of abcd?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

look at the original graph flip the points across the x-axis then look at the graph to see what the x and y values of each point are

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

ok ill try.. 0,2?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

which point are you talking about?

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

A

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

x value comes first

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

2,0

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

what's the x value of point A?

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

-4

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

good, what's the y value?

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

2 and 1/2?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

look at the original graph

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

-4

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

nope

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

y value

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

ignore the transformation stuff, just look at the original problem

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

4

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

good to do a reflection across the x-axis we simply multiply the y-coordinate by -1, giving us a value of -4 so the coordinate of A AFTER the transformation is (-4,-4)

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

repeat the same process with B C and D

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

ok b is (5,2)?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

where is 5 coming from

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

what's the x value of B?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

(look at the ABCD figure NOT the A'B'C'D figure)

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

oh wait sorry.. -2

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

good, what's the y?

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

2

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

good so the coordinates are (-2,2) BEFORE transformation what are the coordinates AFTER transformation?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

(if you are unsure, see what we did with point A)

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

5,-2

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

nope, see what we did with point A

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

like I said, ignore the A'B'C'D figure

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

i dont get how to find it after the transfromation..

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

use this process to find point B after the transformation

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

ok so -5,-2?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

no

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

the coordinates of point B are (-2,2) BEFORE the transformation so the coordinates of point B AFTER the transformation are...?

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

2,-2?
