What is point

(6, 7) after a translation of
4 units left and 5 units down followed by a 180° clockwise rotation around the origin.

1 answer

To determine the point (6, 7) after a translation and a rotation, we'll follow the steps as outlined.

  1. Translation:

    • Move 4 units left means subtracting 4 from the x-coordinate.
    • Move 5 units down means subtracting 5 from the y-coordinate.

    Starting with (6, 7):

    • New x-coordinate: \( 6 - 4 = 2 \)
    • New y-coordinate: \( 7 - 5 = 2 \)

    After translation, the point becomes (2, 2).

  2. 180° Clockwise Rotation around the origin:

    • A 180° rotation clockwise can be achieved through the transformation rule: \( (x, y) \to (-x, -y) \).

    Applying this transformation to (2, 2):

    • New x-coordinate: \( -2 \)
    • New y-coordinate: \( -2 \)

    After the rotation, the point becomes (-2, -2).

So, after a translation of 4 units left and 5 units down followed by a 180° clockwise rotation around the origin, the final point is \((-2, -2)\).
