Question

Identify the sequence of transformations that maps ABCD to JKLM.

A) reflection across x-axis, and then translation (x − 2, y + 10)

B) reflection across y-axis, and then translation (x − 2, y + 10)

C) reflection across x-axis, and then translation (x + 2, y − 10)

D) reflection across y-axis, and then translation (x + 2, y − 10)

Answer 1

The answer is below

Explanation:

The question is not complete, no diagram is attached, but I would show how to solve it.

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are rotation, reflection, translation and dilation.

If a point A(x, y) is reflected across the x axis, the new point is at A'(x, -y).

If a point A(x, y) is reflected across the y axis, the new point is at A'(-x, y).

If a point A(x, y) is translated a units up and b units right, the new point is at A'(x + a, y + b).

If a point A(x, y) is translated a units down and b units left, the new point is at A'(x - a, y - b).
