Question

PLEASE HELP!!!

Square M and square P are similar.

Which sequence of transformations could be applied to square M to map it to square P ?


a reflection over the y-axis followed by a translation to the right


a reflection over the y-axis followed by a dilation by a factor greater than 1


a reflection over the x-axis followed by a translation up


a reflection over the x-axis followed by a dilation by a factor less than 1

Answer 1

A reflection over the y-axis followed by a dilation by a factor greater than 1

Step-by-step explanation

We can see from the diagram that, square M and square P are all equal distance from the line y-axis.

This means that square M has been reflected in the y-axis.

Since square P is greater than square M, there has been a multiplication by a scale factor greater than 1.

The correct choice is B.
