Find the image of (-4,2) obtained by translating 3 units up, followed by a reflexion over the x axis

(-4,-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Image is the points after the transformation

2. Pre-Image is the original points

3. our x value is left to right and our y value is up and down (x,y)

4. Our points are (-4,2)

5. They first want us to translate three units up, so we add to our y value (y is up and down)

6. 2+3 = 5

7. Our new points are (-4,5)

6. Now we are asked to reflect over the x axis. Remember their are a lot of rules concerning reflections. For a reflection across x-axis our equation is this : (x,y) → (x,-y)

7. (-4,5) → (-4,-5)

8. (-4,-5) is our answer
