First perform the translation and then the reflection.

A

Practice makes perfect
Let's first identify the given composition of isometries. R_(x=0)∘ T_(<-12,-6>) Reflection across x= 0 Translation 12 units left and 6 units down To complete this composition of isometries, we first perform the translation and then the reflection.

Translation

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.

Reflection

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.

Final Composition of Isometries

The final composition of the given isometries is the combination of the translation and the reflection.
