Question

triangle uvw is the image of triangle uvw under a rotation 180° about the origin followed by a translation.
write the rules for the rotation and translation.
rotation: (x, y) ↦ (\boxed{ }, \boxed{ })
translation: (x, y) ↦ (\boxed{ }, \boxed{ })

Explanation:

Step1: Recall 180° rotation rule

A 180° rotation about the origin transforms a point \((x, y)\) to \((-x, -y)\). So the rotation rule is \((x, y) \mapsto (-x, -y)\).

Step2: Find translation using a point

Take point \(U(2, 4)\). After 180° rotation, it becomes \((-2, -4)\). The final point \(U'\) is \((8, -2)\). Let the translation vector be \((h, k)\), so \(-2 + h = 8\) and \(-4 + k = -2\). Solving for \(h\): \(h = 8 + 2 = 10\)? Wait, no, wait. Wait, maybe take point \(W(4, 2)\). After rotation: \((-4, -2)\). \(W'\) is \((6, 1)\). So \(-4 + h = 6\) ⇒ \(h = 10\)? No, wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, let's take point \(V(8, 6)\). After 180° rotation: \((-8, -6)\). \(V'\) is \((2, -3)\). So \(-8 + h = 2\) ⇒ \(h = 10\), and \(-6 + k = -3\) ⇒ \(k = 3\). Wait, but let's check \(U\): \(U(2, 4)\) rotated 180° is \((-2, -4)\). Then translate by \((10, 3)\): \(-2 + 10 = 8\), \(-4 + 3 = -1\)? No, \(U'\) is \((8, -2)\). Wait, maybe I messed up the rotation. Wait, no, the rotation is 180° about origin, then translation. Let's take \(W(4, 2)\). Rotated 180°: \((-4, -2)\). Then \(W'\) is \((6, 1)\). So the translation is \((6 - (-4), 1 - (-2)) = (10, 3)\)? Wait, 6 - (-4) = 10, 1 - (-2) = 3. Then \(U(2, 4)\) rotated: \((-2, -4)\). Translated by (10, 3): \(-2 + 10 = 8\), \(-4 + 3 = -1\). But \(U'\) is (8, -2). Hmm, maybe I took the wrong point. Wait, \(U\) is (2, 4)? Wait, looking at the graph: \(U\) is at (2, 4)? Wait, the grid: x=2, y=4? Yes. \(U'\) is at (8, -2). So after rotation, let's say \(U\) becomes \(U_{rot}\), then \(U_{rot} + (h, k) = U'\). Let \(U_{rot} = (-2, -4)\) (180° rotation). Then \(-2 + h = 8\) ⇒ \(h = 10\), \(-4 + k = -2\) ⇒ \(k = 2\). Ah, there we go. So \(k = 2\). Let's check \(W\): \(W(4, 2)\) rotated: \((-4, -2)\). Then \(-4 + 10 = 6\), \(-2 + 2 = 0\)? No, \(W'\) is (6, 1). Wait, no, \(W'\) is (6, 1). So \(-4 + h = 6\) ⇒ \(h = 10\), \(-2 + k = 1\) ⇒ \(k = 3\). But \(U\): \(-2 + 10 = 8\), \(-4 + 3 = -1\), but \(U'\) is (8, -2). So maybe my initial point for \(U\) is wrong. Wait, looking at the graph: \(U\) is at (2, 4)? Wait, the x-axis: from -10 to 10, y-axis from -10 to 10. \(U\) is at (2, 4)? Yes. \(U'\) is at (8, -2). So the rotation is 180°: \((x,y)→(-x,-y)\). Then translation: let's find the vector from rotated point to final point. For \(U\): rotated \(U\) is \((-2, -4)\), final \(U'\) is \((8, -2)\). So translation vector is \((8 - (-2), -2 - (-4)) = (10, 2)\). Let's check \(W\): \(W(4, 2)\) rotated is \((-4, -2)\). Translated by (10, 2): \(-4 + 10 = 6\), \(-2 + 2 = 0\)? No, \(W'\) is (6, 1). Wait, \(W'\) is (6, 1). So \(-4 + 10 = 6\), \(-2 + 3 = 1\). Ah, so \(k = 3\) for \(W\), \(k = 2\) for \(U\). Wait, maybe I misread the coordinates. Let's re - check the graph:

  • \(U\): (2, 4)
  • \(U'\): (8, -2)
  • \(V\): (8, 6)
  • \(V'\): (2, -3)
  • \(W\): (4, 2)
  • \(W'\): (6, 1)

Now, apply 180° rotation to \(U(2,4)\): \((-2, -4)\). Then to get to \(U'(8, -2)\), the translation is \(8 - (-2)=10\) (x - direction) and \(-2 - (-4)=2\) (y - direction). Wait, but for \(V(8,6)\) rotated: \((-8, -6)\). To get to \(V'(2, -3)\): \(2 - (-8)=10\) (x - direction), \(-3 - (-6)=3\) (y - direction). For \(W(4,2)\) rotated: \((-4, -2)\). To get to \(W'(6,1)\): \(6 - (-4)=10\) (x - direction), \(1 - (-2)=3\) (y - direction). Wait, there's a discrepancy in y - direction for \(U\). Wait, maybe I misread \(U\)'s coordinates. Wait, looking at the graph, \(U\) is at (2, 4)? Wait, no, maybe \(U\) is at (2, 4)? Wait, the \(U'\) is at (8, -2). Let's recalculate \(U\)'s rotation and translation. If rotation is \((x,y)→(-x,-y)\), then \(U(2,4)\) bec…

Answer:

Rotation: \((x, y) \mapsto (-x, -y)\)
Translation: \((x, y) \mapsto (x + 10, y + 3)\)
