The first transformation can be:

- Reflected across the y-axis: seeing in the graph, the y-axis is not a reflection axis.

- Reflected across the line y=x: it could be, but it is not reflected, as the points are not equally distance and perpendicular to the line y=x, as if they were reflected.

(we can conclude looking at both triangles that there is not reflection, but a rotation).

- Rotated 180 degrees about the origin: this is the right answer. We can draw a line between each point and the origin, and if it is rotated 180 degrees, we get the transformed point.

Answer first one: Rotated 180 degrees about the origin.

The second transformation can be:

- Reflected across the x-axis: not right. The triangle is not reflected but translated.

- Translated 3 units down: This is the right answer. The triangle is translated.

- Rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin: The triangle is not rotated.

Answer second one: Translated 3 units down.

Third and fourth options.

As the triangles are not scaled, the transformations are both rigid and the resulting triangles are congruent (equal angles and sides).
