Find the vertex matrix after rotation at about the origin.
\
Write the vertex matrix for is
.
Write the ordered pair as a vertex matrix.
\Then multiply the vertex matrix by the rotation matrix.
\.
Write the vertices of the image.
\ The first row represents the –coordinates and the second row represents the
–coordinates.
The vertices are and

Find reflection along -axis.
Write the vertex matrix for is
.
Write the ordered pair as a vertex matrix.
\Then multiply the vertex matrix by the reflection the -axis of symmetry.

Then multiply the vertex matrix by the reflection the -axis of symmetry.
.
The vertices are and
.
Compare the vertex matrices.
\The matrices are equal.
\ So, rotating
counterclockwise about the origin is the same as reflecting the figure in the
–axis, then in the
–axis.
