Rectangle ABCD has vertex coordinates A(–1, –1), B(–1, –3), C(–4, –3), and D(–4, –1). It is translated 4 units to the right and reflected across the line y = x. What are the coordinates of A"B"C"D"?

Respuesta :

the translation takes the point A ( -1, -1)  to (-1+4, 1) =  (3, 1)

The refection in y = x  'flips' the points so  (3, 1) becomes  (1, 3) = A"

Do the same procedure for the other points to get the answer

(you should get B" =  (-3, 3) )

The coordinates of A"B"C"D" after horizontal translation and reflected across y = x are A''(-1, 3), B''(-3, 3), C''(-3, 0) and D(-1, 0).

What is horizontal translation?

Horizontally translating a graph is equivalent to shifting the base graph left or right in the direction of the x-axis.

For the base function f (x) and a constant k, the function given by g(x) = f (x - k), can be sketched by shifting f (x) k units horizontally. The value of k determines the direction of the shift. Specifically, if k > 0, the base graph shifts k units to the right, and if k < 0, the base graph shifts k units to the left.

Given the vertices of ABCD as A(-1, -1), B(-1, -3), C(-4, -3) and D(-4, -1). Since, the graph is translated 4 units to the right, 4 is added to the abscissa of each coordinate. The new coordinates become A'(3, -1), B'(3, -3), C(0, -3) and D(0, -1).

What is reflecting across y = x?

When you reflect a point across the line y = x, the x-coordinate and y-coordinate change places.

The new coordinates become:

A''(-1, 3), B''(-3, 3), C''(-3, 0), D(-1, 0).
