Question

determine whether each transformation is a rotation, translation, vertical reflection, or horizontal reflection. Select a correct column for each transformation.

Answer 1

We are given the following transformation.

Figure X is transformed into figure Y. We notice that there is only a translation of points but the direction of the figure remains unchanged, this corresponds to a translation.

Now, when figure Y is transformed into figure Z, we notice that figure Y and figure Z are mirror images of each other. This type of transformation is called a reflection. Since the reflection is accross a vertical axis this is a vertical re
