R (1, 1)
S (3, 1)
T (1, 6) R' (–1, –1)
S' (–3, –1)
T' (–1, –6)
Which best describes the transformation?

The transformation was a 90° rotation about the origin.

Answer:

It's a 180 rotation

Explanation:

The first set of chords are in the first quadrant while the second set of chords are in the third quadrant. If you draw the first triangle on a second sheet of paper in the same place a the first triangle and hold the paper so that the triangle you drew of the first triangle is directly on top of the first triangle and then hold the paper at the point (0,0) and move the paper 180 degrees, it doesn't matter which direction cause it's 180 degrees, the points of the triangle will have ended up in the third quadrant. So it's 180 degree rotation
