Math Problem Statement
Solution
To find the coordinates of under the transformation , where is the line , let's break down the steps:
-
Reflection across the line :
- The line has the equation .
- The point appears to be at on the grid.
- Reflecting across requires finding its symmetrical point with respect to this line.
- The distance from to is 1 unit (since ), so reflecting it across will place it 1 unit above at .
-
Translation :
- The translation vector means moving the point 4 units to the left without any change in the -coordinate.
- Applying this translation to the reflected point , we get:
Therefore, the coordinates of are:

Here are some related questions to explore:
- How do you reflect a point across a line other than the x-axis or y-axis?
- How is the distance calculated between a point and a line?
- What changes in the transformation if we reflect across a different line?
- How do translation transformations affect coordinates in general?
- What are the properties of compositions of transformations?
Tip: For reflections, always find the perpendicular distance to the line to determine the reflected point’s position accurately.
