Reflection across the z-axis: The line containing the points (-2, 3) and (2, 3) is horizontal. When it is reflected across the z-axis, the x-coordinates of the points change sign, while the y-coordinates remain the same. Thus, the reflected points will be (2, 3) and (-2, 3). The length of the line segment can be calculated as:
\[ \text{Length} = |x_2 - x_1| = |2 - (-2)| = |2 + 2| = 4 \text{ units} \]
So, the length of the reflected line is 4 units.

Rotation of a line segment 90° clockwise: To rotate a point (x, y) 90° clockwise around the origin, the new coordinates will be (y, -x).
- For point (2, -1):
- New coordinates: (-1, -2)
- For point (5, 4):
- New coordinates: (4, -5)
Therefore, after rotating the segment 90° clockwise, the new endpoints are (-1, -2) and (4, -5).
- For point (2, -1):

Translation of a rectangle: A translation does not change the length of the sides. Therefore, if a rectangle has a side that is 10 units long, moving it down 4 units and to the right 5 units will not affect the length of that side. The length of this side will still be 10 units after the translation.
