Answer:
- D. A translation 1 unit to the right followed by a 270-degree counterclockwise rotation about the origin
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>See the picture for better visual</em>
Take segments ST and S'T'. If we extend them they will intersect at right angle.
It is the indication that the rotation is 90° or 270° but not 180°, when the corresponding segments come parallel.
The QRST is in the quadrant IV and Q'R'S'T' is in the quadrant III, which mean the rotation is 90° clockwise or 270° counterclockwise.
<u>This rotation rule is:</u>
- (x, y) → (y, -x)
We also see the points S and T have x-coordinate of 5 but their images have y-coordinates of -6. It means the translation to the right by 1 unit was the step before rotation.
<u>We now can conclude the correct choice is D:</u>
- A translation 1 unit to the right followed by a 270-degree counterclockwise rotation about the origin
