Question

triangle mno can be mapped to triangle mno by a rotation 90° counterclockwise about the origin followed by a reflection.
write the functions that describe the rotation and reflection.
rotation: (x, y) → (\square, \square)
reflection: (x, y) → (\square, \square)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall 90° counterclockwise rotation rule

A 90° counterclockwise rotation about the origin transforms a point \((x, y)\) to \((-y, x)\).

Step2: Determine the reflection rule

By observing the coordinates of the pre - image (after rotation) and the image, we find that the reflection is over the \(y\) - axis. The rule for reflection over the \(y\) - axis is \((x,y)\to(-x,y)\). But first, let's confirm with the rotation. For a 90° counterclockwise rotation, \((x,y)\to(-y,x)\). Then, to get from the rotated figure to the final figure (by looking at the coordinates), the reflection is over the \(y\) - axis? Wait, no. Let's take a point. Let's take point \(M\): from the graph, \(M=(3,2)\). After 90° counterclockwise rotation, \((x,y)=(3,2)\) becomes \((- 2,3)\). And \(M'=(2,3)\)? Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, 90° counterclockwise rotation formula: \((x,y)\to(-y,x)\). Let's check the coordinates. Let's take point \(M=(3,2)\). Applying 90° counterclockwise rotation: \(-y=-2\), \(x = 3\), so \((-2,3)\). But \(M'=(2,3)\). Oh! So maybe the rotation is 90° clockwise? No, the problem says 90° counterclockwise. Wait, maybe I mixed up. Wait, 90° counterclockwise about the origin: \((x,y)\to(-y,x)\). 90° clockwise: \((x,y)\to(y, - x)\). Wait, let's check the coordinates of \(O\). \(O=(8,3)\). After rotation, \(O'=(2,8)\)? Wait, \(O'=(2,8)\)? Wait, \(O=(8,3)\). If we do 90° counterclockwise rotation: \(-y=-3\), \(x = 8\), so \((-3,8)\)? No, that's not matching. Wait, maybe the rotation is 90° counterclockwise about the origin, and then reflection over the \(y\) - axis? Wait, no. Wait, let's look at the coordinates of \(M\): \(M=(3,2)\), \(M'=(2,3)\). Let's see: if we do 90° counterclockwise rotation, \((x,y)=(3,2)\) becomes \((-2,3)\), and then reflecting over the \(y\) - axis: \((-2,3)\to(2,3)\), which is \(M'\). Ah! So first, 90° counterclockwise rotation: \((x,y)\to(-y,x)\), then reflection over the \(y\) - axis: \((x,y)\to(-x,y)\). So for the rotation: \((x,y)\to(-y,x)\), and for the reflection: \((x,y)\to(-x,y)\) (but applied after the rotation). Wait, no, the reflection is a transformation that takes the rotated figure to the final figure. So the rotation function is \((x,y)\to(-y,x)\) (90° counterclockwise about the origin), and the reflection function: let's take the rotated point \((-y,x)\) and see what reflection maps it to the final point. For \(M=(3,2)\), rotated point is \((-2,3)\), and \(M'=(2,3)\). So to get from \((-2,3)\) to \((2,3)\), we reflect over the \(y\) - axis? Wait, no, reflection over the \(y\) - axis is \((x,y)\to(-x,y)\). If we have \((-2,3)\), applying reflection over \(y\) - axis: \((2,3)\), which is \(M'\). So the reflection is over the \(y\) - axis, with rule \((x,y)\to(-x,y)\). But first, the rotation: \((x,y)\to(-y,x)\). Let's confirm with \(N\): \(N=(9,8)\). Rotation: \(-y=-8\), \(x = 9\), so \((-8,9)\). Then reflection over \(y\) - axis: \((8,9)\), which is \(N'\). Yes! That works. So:

Rotation: The rule for 90° counterclockwise rotation about the origin is \((x,y)\to(-y,x)\).

Reflection: The rule for reflection over the \(y\) - axis is \((x,y)\to(-x,y)\) (because after rotating \((x,y)\) to \((-y,x)\), reflecting over \(y\) - axis gives \((y,x)\)? Wait, no. Wait, when we rotate \((x,y)\) 90° counterclockwise, we get \((-y,x)\). Then, to get to the final point, we reflect over the \(y\) - axis: \((-y,x)\to(y,x)\)? Wait, no, \(N=(9,8)\): rotate 90° counterclockwise: \((-8,9)\), then reflect over \(y\) - axis: \((8,9)\), which is \(N'\). So \((-8,9)\to(8,9)\) is reflection over \(y\) - axis: \((x…

Answer:

Rotation: \((x, y)\to\boldsymbol{(-y, x)}\)

Reflection: \((x, y)\to\boldsymbol{(-x, y)}\) (Wait, no, when we take the rotated point \((-y,x)\) and apply reflection over \(y\) - axis, we get \((y,x)\)? Wait, no, \(N=(9,8)\): rotated point is \((-8,9)\), reflected point is \((8,9)\). So \((-8,9)\to(8,9)\) is \((x,y)\to(-x,y)\) because \(x=-8\), \(-x = 8\), \(y = 9\). So the reflection rule is \((x,y)\to(-x,y)\). And the rotation rule is \((x,y)\to(-y,x)\).
