Question

To describe a sequence of transformations that maps triangle ABC onto triangle A"B"C", a student starts with a reflection over the x-axis. How should the student complete the sequence of transformations to map triangle ABC onto triangle A"B"C"?

Answer 1

Answer:

To describe a sequence of transformations that maps triangle ABC onto triangle A"B"C", a student starts with a reflection over the x-axis. The student student complete the sequence of transformations to map triangle ABC to triangle A"B"C" is by translating the figure 2 units to the right. Translate the figure 6 units up.

Answer 2

Answer:

• 1. Reflection over x-axis
• 2. Translation 6 units up and 2 units right

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle ABC transforms per steps below:

• 1. Reflection over x-axis
• 2. Translation 6 units up and 2 units right

Using coordinates of one point - A(1, 9)

• 1. A(1, 9) → A'(1, -9)
• 2. A'(1, -9) → A''(1 + 2, -9 + 6) = (3, -3)

Other points experience same transformation
