1. **State the problem:** We need to find the image of triangle \(\triangle XYZ\) with vertices \(X(8,4)\), \(Y(4,6)\), and \(Z(8,14)\) after two transformations: reflection across the y-axis, then a 90° counterclockwise rotation about the origin.
2. **Reflection across the y-axis:** The rule for reflecting a point \((x,y)\) across the y-axis is \((x,y) \to (-x,y)\).
Applying this to each vertex:
- \(X(8,4) \to X'(-8,4)\)
- \(Y(4,6) \to Y'(-4,6)\)
- \(Z(8,14) \to Z'(-8,14)\)
3. **Rotation 90° counterclockwise around the origin:** The rule for rotating a point \((x,y)\) by 90° CCW is \((x,y) \to (-y,x)\).
Applying this to the reflected points:
- \(X'(-8,4) \to X''(-4,-8)\)
- \(Y'(-4,6) \to Y''(-6,-4)\)
- \(Z'(-8,14) \to Z''(-14,-8)\)
4. **Final image vertices:**
- \(X''(-4,-8)\)
- \(Y''(-6,-4)\)
- \(Z''(-14,-8)\)
These are the coordinates of the transformed triangle after the given sequence of transformations.
