4. Compositions of Isometries
Sign In
First perform the translation and then the reflection.
A
To translate the point (11,-5) twelve units left, we have to subtract 12 from the x-coordinate. Then, to move the point (11,-5) six units down, we have to subtract 6 from the y-coordinate. (x,y) → (x-12,y-6) Let's start with this.
To complete the reflection, we have to reflect both of the coordinates of the point (11,-5) on the opposite side of the y-axis in a way such that the distance from the points to the y-axis remains the same.
The final composition of the given isometries is the combination of the translation and the reflection.
