The point (x, y) is the top of a polygon. Which point would it map to if the polygon were reflected over the x-axis and then translated 4 units left?

Respuesta :

The point which maps to the point (x,y) in the polygon after transformation will be (x-4,-y).

When the point (x,y) is reflected over x-axis then the coordinate of the new point changes to (x,-y) as during reflection over x-axis x coordinate never changes only the y coordinate reflects back.

When the point (x,y) is translated a unit left then the coordinate of the new point changes to (x-a,y) as the translation happens only in x-axis, the y coordinate remains as it is.

When the point (x,y) is translated a unit right then the coordinate of the new point changes to (x+a,y) as the translation happens only in x-axis, the y coordinate remains as it is.

Here the coordinate of the point is (x,y) which is at the top of the polygon.

At first, the polygon is reflected over X-axis, the point also goes under reflection over the X axis.

then the coordinate of the point will be (x,-y)

Then the polygon is translated 4 units to left then the point also goes under translation to 4 units left.

then the new coordination of the polygon will be (x-4,-y).

Therefore the point which maps to the point (x,y) in the polygon after transformation will be (x-4,-y).
