Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem involves plotting a trapezoid with vertices , , , and , and then performing some transformations.
Part (a):
You're asked to reflect the trapezoid using the transformation , and determine where (the image of point ) is located after the reflection.
In the transformation, the -coordinate changes its sign, while the -coordinate stays the same. Let's apply the transformation to point :
- The new -coordinate of becomes (because ).
- The -coordinate remains the same, so it stays at .
Thus, after the reflection, will be located at .
Part (b):
You need to name a sequence of at least two rigid transformations that will take back to .
To map back to , we can use the following transformations:
- Reflection: Reflect back across the y-axis (which negates the effect of the first transformation). This will turn , , , and into the original points , , , and .
- Translation: After the reflection, the figure might be displaced, so we would translate it back to the correct position. For instance, we can translate by to adjust the horizontal shift that resulted from the reflection.
