Question

In the similaritytransformation of AABCto ADFE, AABC was dilated bya scale factor of 1/2, reflected4 across the x-axis, and movedthrough the translation [? ].

Answer 1

We have to identify the translation.

We can see that the green triangle represents the transformation of triangle ABC after a dilation with a scale factor of 1/2 and a reflection across the x-axis.

We can then find the translation in each axis from the image as:

Triangle is DEF is translated 3 units to the left (and none in the vertical axis).

We can express this translation as this rule:

`(x+3,y+0)`

Answer: (x+3, y+0)
