Question

describe the translation of the point to its image: (-1,-2) to (1,2)

Answer 1

SOLUTION

Given the question, the following are the solution steps to answer the question.

STEP 1: Write the given transformation.

$\begin{gathered} (-1,-2)\Rightarrow(1,2) \\ (x,y)\Rightarrow(-x,-y) \end{gathered}$

STEP 2: Describe the transformation

When we have the points transfoming as given above, this implies that there is a rotation of 180 degrees about the origin

Hence, the translation of the point to its image is given as:

Rotation of 180 degrees about the origin
