Answer
(-12, -8) after R270°.D¼ becomes (-2, 3)
Explanation
The first operation represented by R270° indicates a rotation of 270° counterclockwise about the origin.
When a rotation of 270° counterclockwise about the origin is done on some coordinate, A (x, y), it transforms this coordinates into A' (y, -x). That is, we switch y and x, then add negative sign to x.
Then, the second operation, D¼ represents a dilation of the coordinate about the origin by a scale factor of ¼ given.
The coordinates to start with is (-12, -8)
R270° changes A (x, y) into A' (y, -x)
So,
(-12, -8) = (-8, 12)
Then, the second operation dilates the new coordinates obtained after the first operation by ¼
D¼ changes A (x, y) into A' (¼x, ¼y)
So,
(-8, 12) = [¼(-8), ¼(12)] = (-2, 3)
Hope this Helps!!!
