A triangle is reflected across line L and then across line m. If the lines intersect, what kind of isometry is this compostiton of relcections?
a. Translation***
b. Rotation
c. Reflection
d. Glide reflection
after a glide reflection, the ponit x is mapped to the point x' (3, -2). The translation part of the glide reflection is (x, y) —> (x + 3, y), and the line of reflection is y= -1. What are the coordinates of the original point x?
a. (6, 0)
b. (-1, 1)
c. (-2, -2)
d. (0, 0)***

The first one is Rotation and the second one is correct.
Yes, you are correct on both questions!
For the first question, if a triangle is reflected across line L and then across line m, and the lines intersect, the composition of reflections is a rotation. This is because when two lines intersect, the reflection across the first line followed by the reflection across the second line can be thought of as rotating the triangle around the point of intersection.
For the second question, a glide reflection is a composition of a reflection and a translation. In this case, the translation part of the glide reflection is (x, y) → (x + 3, y), meaning that the x-coordinate of the original point x is increased by 3 units. The line of reflection is y = -1, so the y-coordinate remains the same.
Given that the point x' after the glide reflection is (3, -2), we need to find the original point x. Since the x-coordinate is increased by 3 units, the original x-coordinate must be 3 units less than 3, which is 0. Therefore, the coordinates of the original point x are (0, -2).
So, (0, -2) is the correct answer for the coordinates of the original point x. Well done!
