Answer 1

The answer is below

Explanation:

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation is rotation, reflection, translation and dilation.

If a point A(x, y) is reflected over the x axis, the new point is at A'(x, -y). If a point B(x, y) is reflected over the y axis, the new point is at A'(-x, y).

Triangle A has vertex at (-4, -2), (-4, -5) and (-2, -5). If triangle A is reflected in the x axis to give triangle B, the vertex of triangle B is (-4, 2), (-4, 5) and (-2, 5).

If triangle B is reflected in the y axis to give triangle C, the vertex of triangle C is at (4, 2), (4, 5) and (2, 5). Hence the transformation is:

(x, y) ⇒ (-x, -y)
