Answer 1

Answer:

anticlockwise; reflection about x = 0; reflection about y = x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To get from A to A', we have to rotate anticlockwise. This rotation would take us around the coordinate plane from the first quadrant to the fourth quadrant to the third quadrant to the second quadrant. Clockwise about (0, -1) would not bring us to A'. To get from A' to A'', we to reflect across the line x = 0. As you can see in the image, the two triangles mirror each other across a vertical line in the center of them, and this vertical line would be x = 0 because both triangles are at least 1 unit away from it (they are equidistant from this line)

A single transformation that could map A onto A'' would be a reflection about y = x - 1. Both triangles happen to meet at this point so you might be able to visualize it. However, we can also test some points to see if this works. First, we can test the right-most point of A (which is the top-most point of A''). This point on A is (6, 0). If this point was reflected across y = x - 1, y would become 6 - 1 or 5, and since y = x - 1 is the same as x = y + 1, x would become 0 + 1 or 1. Indeed, the equivalent point on A'' is (1, 5).
