Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem involves translating and reflecting a point geometrically.
- The point B has coordinates (3,2).
- It is translated using the vector .
- Then it is reflected across the vertical line .
Step 1: Translation
To translate the point by the vector :
- New -coordinate:
- New -coordinate:
After translation, the new point is .
Step 2: Reflection across
To reflect the point across the line , we calculate the horizontal distance from the point to the line:
- Distance from to is .
- To reflect, we subtract this distance from , which gives .
The -coordinate remains the same during a reflection across a vertical line.
Thus, the final reflected point is .
