The point A (-3, 2) is reflected in the x-axis to the point A’. Point A’ is then reflected in the origin to point A”. (i) Write down the co-ordinates of A”.(ii) Write down a single transformation that maps A onto A”.

Answer»

(i) The reflection in x-axis is given by Mx (x, y) = (x, -y).

A’ = reflection of A (-3, 2) in the x- axis = (-3, -2). 

The reflection in origin is given by MO (x, y) = (-x, -y). 

A” = reflection of A’ (-3, -2) in the origin = (3, 2)

(ii) The reflection in y-axis is given by My (x, y) = (-x, y). 

The reflection of A (-3, 2) in y-axis is (3, 2). 

Thus, the required single transformation is the reflection of A in the y-axis to the point A”.
