Question

Which figure is the image of Figure 1 after a reflection over the y-axis and a translation 3 units down?

Answer 1

When we perform a reflection over the y-axis then the y-coordinates remain the same but the x-coordinates are inverted (opposite sign).

Example:

As you can see in the above figure, a reflection over the y-axis would look like this.

When we perform a translation of 3 units down then the shape gets shifted downwards by 3 units.

Example:

Therefore, we can see that figure B is the correct answer.
