Math Problem Statement

If B is translated

If C is rotated 180° about the origin, what are the coordinates of C’?

(x, y) → (x – 4, y – 2), Solve for b show work

Solution

To solve the given transformation problem and determine the coordinates of CC', let's break it into two parts:

  1. Translation of B
    The transformation (x,y)(x4,y2)(x, y) \to (x - 4, y - 2) translates a point by subtracting 4 from the x-coordinate and 2 from the y-coordinate. This is applied to point BB. If BB's coordinates are not provided, they must be given or symbolized as (bx,by)(b_x, b_y).

  2. Rotation of C by 180° about the origin
    The transformation (x,y)(x,y)(x, y) \to (-x, -y) represents a 180° rotation about the origin. This reverses the signs of both the x- and y-coordinates of CC. Again, the exact coordinates of CC are needed to compute CC'.

Work:

Translation:

Assume the coordinates of BB are (bx,by)(b_x, b_y). After translation: B=(bx4,by2)B' = (b_x - 4, b_y - 2)

Rotation:

Assume the coordinates of CC are (cx,cy)(c_x, c_y). After a 180° rotation: C=(cx,cy)C' = (-c_x, -c_y)

The results for BB' and CC' depend on the original points BB and CC.


If specific coordinates for BB and CC are provided, I can calculate the exact transformed coordinates. Let me know if you have those, or if you need further clarification!
