Question

What combination of transformations is shown below?

Answer 1

Answer: D) rotation, then translation

Explanation:

Going from figure (1) to figure (2) has us rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise. Note the smallest side of the green figure how it is horizontal, and it corresponds to the smallest side of the blue figure and it is vertical. The center of rotation is the top right corner of the green figure.

Then we apply a translation to go from figure (2) to figure (3). This is another way of saying we shifted the figure some distance left/right and up/down. In this case, we shifted 1 unit to the right and 4 units down.
