Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's solve the problem step by step.
Step 1: Rotation by 90° Counterclockwise
To rotate a point by 90° counterclockwise around the origin, the new coordinates are given by: We need to apply this transformation to the vertices of triangle .
- Point A is at . After rotation:
- Point B is at . After rotation:
- Point C is at . After rotation:
Step 2: Reflection Over the Line
The reflection of a point over the line is given by swapping and negating the coordinates: Now, apply this transformation to the new vertices .
- Point A' is at . After reflection:
- Point B' is at . After reflection:
- Point C' is at . After reflection:
Final Coordinates of the Transformed Triangle
The new vertices of the transformed triangle are:
By checking these points on the coordinate plane, the transformed triangle can be graphed.
Would you like to see further details or explanations?
Here are five questions to expand your understanding:
- How would the transformation change if the triangle was rotated by 180° instead of 90°?
- What happens when you reflect a shape over the line instead of ?
- How would the transformation rules change if you reflected over the x-axis?
- What would happen if the rotation was clockwise instead of counterclockwise?
- Can you describe the combined transformation as a single matrix operation?
Tip: Remember that combining transformations (like rotation and reflection) can often be simplified by using matrices, which makes it easier to apply multiple transformations at once.
