Answer:

see below

Explanation:

The vertex order has been reversed, so a reflection is involved. The direction of the short side has been changed by 90°, so a rotation is potentially involved. Depending on the precise rotation and/or reflections, translation may be involved.

One potential set of transformations is ...

  • rotate 90° CW about the origin
  • translate left 1 and down 3
  • reflect across the y-axis

Another potential set of transformations (shown below) is ...

  • reflect across the line x+y=1
  • translate down 4
