Zorluk: OrtaTransformations in the Coordinate Plane

In the standard (x,y)(x, y) coordinate plane, triangle PQRPQR has vertices P(2,1)P(2, 1), Q(5,1)Q(5, 1), and R(2,5)R(2, 5). The triangle is first rotated 90∘90^\circ counterclockwise about the origin to form triangle P′Q′R′P'Q'R'. Next, triangle P′Q′R′P'Q'R' is reflected across the yy-axis to form triangle P′′Q′′R′′P''Q''R''. What are the coordinates of the vertex R′′R''?

Cevap

(5,2)(5, 2)
The correct answer is the coordinate pair (5,2)(5, 2). First, rotating the point R(2,5)R(2, 5) counterclockwise by 90∘90^\circ about the origin uses the transformation rule (x,y)→(−y,x)(x, y) \rightarrow (-y, x), which maps R(2,5)R(2, 5) to R′(−5,2)R'(-5, 2). Next, reflecting the point R′(−5,2)R'(-5, 2) across the yy-axis uses the transformation rule (x,y)→(−x,y)(x, y) \rightarrow (-x, y), which maps R′(−5,2)R'(-5, 2) to R′′(5,2)R''(5, 2).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Apply the rotation of 90∘90^\circ counterclockwise about the origin to the vertex R(2,5)R(2, 5).
The rule for a 90∘90^\circ counterclockwise rotation is (x,y)→(−y,x)(x, y) \rightarrow (-y, x). Applying this to R(2,5)R(2, 5) yields R′(−5,2)R'(-5, 2).
To find the coordinates after the first transformation step.
2
Apply the reflection across the yy-axis to the intermediate point R′(−5,2)R'(-5, 2).
The rule for reflection across the yy-axis is (x,y)→(−x,y)(x, y) \rightarrow (-x, y). Applying this to R′(−5,2)R'(-5, 2) yields R′′(5,2)R''(5, 2).
To find the final coordinates after the second transformation step.
