The sequence of transformation that maps ABC to A'B"C" is

  • A rotation 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin
  • A translation 2 units to the right

How to verify the transformations

The transformation rule for rotation, 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin is:

A(x, y) becomes A'(-y ,x).

Applying this rule to a reference point say A

A (-3, 4) becomes (-4, -3)

A horizontal transformation of units to the right is achieved by adding 2 to the x-coordinate

A' (-4, -3) becomes A''(-2, -3)

Comparing to the image (graph) shows that the sequence of transformations is accurate
