3. Rotations
Sign In
Let's begin by drawing the segment XY.
When a segment is rotated 180^(∘) counterclockwise about the origin, the coordinates of the image's endpoints will change in the following way.
(a,b)→ (- a,- b)
| Point | (a,b) | (- a,- b) |
|---|---|---|
| X | (- 3,1) | (3,- 1) |
| Y | (4,- 5) | (- 4,5) |
Now we can graph X'Y'
Next, we have to translate X'Y' by going 1 step to the left and 1 step up. (x,y) → (x - 1,y + 1). Let's do this translation.
Finally, we will remove the unnecessary parts of the graph.
