Question

Which choice shows the image of quadrilateral WXYZ after a reflection over the y-axis followed by a translation down 2 units?

Answer 1

Answer:

Choices are not provided, but you can answer the question as follows: take the coordinates of quadrilateral WXYZ and apply:

W(xW, yW) -> W'(-xW, yW-2)

X(xX, yX) -> X'(-xX, yX-2)

Y(xY, yY) -> Y'(-xY, yY-2)

Z(xZ, yZ) -> Z'(-xZ, yZ-2)

For example, if point W is located at (1, 1), W' would be located at (-1, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflection over the y-axis transforms point (x, y) into (-x, y)

Translation down 2 units transforms point (x, y) into (x, y-2)
