Question

Which sequence of transformations takes figure B to its image B'?

Answer 1

Answer:

D. a reflection in the y-axis, followed by a counterclockwise rotation of 270 about the origin

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, the first obvious step is to reflect it across the y-axis. Now, for the next step, since we do not have a 90°-clockwise rotation option, we have to go with something similar to that, which would be a 270°-counterclockwise rotation. If you think about it, since 3 × 90 is 270, and rotating this figure 90° clockwise [one rotation] would go from Quadrant III to Quadrant II, going the other way around [270°counterclockwise (three rotations)] will also go from Quadrant III to Quadrant II [to Quadrant IIII to Quadrant I to Quadrant II].
