A line segment has endpoints at #(4 ,9 )# and #(5 ,2)#. If the line segment is rotated about the origin by #pi #, translated vertically by #-4 #, and reflected about the x-axis, what will the line segment's new endpoints be?

Rotation: (4, 9) ==> (-4, -9) and (5, 2) ==> (-5, -2) it flips to the next quadrant
Translation: (-4, -9) ==> (-4, -5) and (-5, -2) ==> (-5, 2)
Reflection simply flips the y so (x, y) ==> (x, -y)
Reflection (-4, -5) ==> (-4, 5) and (-5, 2) ==> (-5, -2)
Explanation:
You can easily get this by using the:
Rotation, Translation and Reflection Matrices =
Where V is 3D Vector i.e. is the transpose of your vector
|4|
V= |9| |0|
|0|
