Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation: When you multiply a negative by a negative you get a positive, because the two negative signs are cancelled out.

1. Write a rule that will take the triangle to a congruent triangle. Write your rule as (x,y)

olga nikolaevna [1]

Transforming a shape involves changing the size and/or the location of the shape.

The rule that will take the triangle to a congruent triangle is $(x,y) \to (x,-y)$
The rule that will take the triangle to a figure that is similar is $(x,y) \to (0.5x,0.5y)$ .
The rule that will take the triangle to a figure that is not similar or congruent is $(x,y) \to (0.5x,2y)$ .

<h3>Rigid transformation</h3>

When a shape is transformed by a rigid transformation, then the image of the shape will be congruent to the original shape.

An example of a rigid transformation is a reflection over the x-axis; and the rule is:

$(x,y) \to (x,-y)$

So, a rule that will take the triangle to a congruent triangle is $(x,y) \to (x,-y)$

<h3>Nonrigid transformation</h3>

When a shape is transformed by a nonrigid transformation, then the image of the shape will not be congruent to the original shape, however the original shape and the transformed shape would be similar

An example of a nonrigid transformation is a dilation by a scale factor od 0.5; and the rule is:

$(x,y) \to (0.5x,0.5y)$

So, a rule that will take the triangle to a figure that is similar is $(x,y) \to (0.5x,0.5y)$

However, if the x and y coordinates of the shape are dilated by different scale factors, then the resulting shape would neither be similar nor be congruent to the original shape.

A rule that will take the triangle to a figure that is not similar or congruent is $(x,y) \to (0.5x,2y)$ .
