Geometry-Transformations

Quadrilateral

has vertices with coordinates
and
. When the figure is rotated clockwise
around point
and then reflected across the line
, what are the coordinates of the final image of point
? Express your answer as an ordered pair.

I am stuck and don't know where to begin. Please help!

Thanks,

DarkTangent

Re: Geometry-Transformations

hi DarkTangent

First draw a diagram.  Then make use of some tracing paper.  In the UK in GCSE exams, tracing paper is allowed.

Re: Geometry-Transformations

That answer is not correct. The method looked right though.

Re: Geometry-Transformations

hi Dark Tangent

I get this:

Q (2,7) rotates to Q' ((0,5) and then reflects to (2,5)

thickhead wrote:

So the coordinates of  various points will be  N(0,-4)  ,P( 2,-4)  and Q(2,0).

Is this correct?  The rotation is 270 clockwise.

Re: Geometry-Transformations

Can you please also help me with this problem too?

Segment

has endpoints at
and
. Segment
is obtained by translating
by
units to the right and
units down. Find the midpoint of segment
. Express your answer as
with
and
integers.

Re: Geometry-Transformations

You can either find the midpoint of
and perform the translation, or translate
and then determine the midpoint.

Re: Geometry-Transformations

I overlooked "clockwise". My answer is for counterclockwise 270 degrees rotation.
