Answer:
It is reflected in the y axis followed by a dilation by a factor of 1/2
Explanation:
Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are reflection, rotation, translation and dilation.
If a point A(x, y) is reflected in the y axis, the new point is at A'(-x, y).
If a point A(x, y) is dilated by a factor of k, the new point would be at A'(kx, ky).
The vertices of rectangle WXYZ is at W(2, 4), X(6, 4), Y(6, 2) and Z(2, 2).
If the rectangle is reflected in the y axis, the new points are W'(-2, 4), X'(-6, 4), Y'(-6, 2) and Z'(-2, 2). If it is then dilated by a factor of 1/2, the new vertices is at W''(-1, 2), X''(-3, 2), Y''(-3, 1) and Z''(-1, 1).
