Question

Describe the transformations that map A onto the point A”.

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

(x, y) -----> (x + 4, y - 1)

Adding 4 to the x means you move right 4. Subtracting 1 from the y means you move down one.

The next transformation (-(x + 4), y - 1)

If you look at the x coordinate and the transformation that is being applied

(-(x+4) that negative means you are taking the opposite of the x coordinate.

When you take the opposite of the x coordinate, it means you reflect it over the y axis.
