Answer
To perform a rotation of 180° about the point (0, 1), we use the following transformation formula:
If (x, y) is a point on the coordinate plane, after the rotation the new coordinates (x', y') are given by:
(x′y′)=(01)+(−1−1)⋅(x−0y−1)
Thus, applying the rotation results in the following transformation:
The x-coordinate changes to: x′=−x
The y-coordinate changes to: y′=2−y.
Step 2
a translation of

Answer
Now, we perform the translation given by the vector (\begin{pmatrix} 4 \ 0 \end{pmatrix}). This means we add 4 to the x-coordinate and 0 to the y-coordinate. Therefore,
The final transformation results in:
(x′′y′′)=(x′+4y′+0)
We substitute the values from the previous step:
x′′=−x+4y′′=2−y.
Overall, the single transformation can be described as a rotation followed by a translation, resulting in the final coordinates as above.
