Answer 1

So for the rhombus to carry onto itself, it needs to start in one position and end up in that same position. In this case, (x,y) will need to end up on (x,y) after the reflections are done. Here what the options do:

A: y-axis, x-axis, y-axis

(x,y) -> (-x,y) -> (-x,-y) -> (x,-y)

B: x-axis, y-axis, y-axis

(x,y) -> (x,-y) -> (-x,-y) -> (x,-y)

C: y=x, x-axis, y=x, y-axis

(x,y) -> (y,x) -> (y,-x) -> (-x,y) -> (x,y)

D: x-axis, y=x, x-axis, y=x

(x,y) -> (x,-y) -> (-y,x) -> (-y,-x) -> (-x,-y)

The only option that starts as (x,y) and ends as (x,y) is C: y=x, x-axis, y=x, y-axis, therefore making that the correct answer.
