Answer: First option (your selected answer)

Explanation:

(rotating an object 360° will bring it to its original position)

(rotating an object 180° will turn it upside-down)

(rotating an object 90° will make it sideways)

(to calculate the scale factor, pick a point on both triangles that are of the same corner)

ex: A: (-12,12) and A': (4,-4)

(ask yourself what you need to multiply the x and y coordinates of ΔABC by to get the resulting x and y coordinates of the ΔA'B'C')


-12*-(1)/(3)=4\\12*-(1)/(3)=-4

(you multiply -1/3 to get the x and y value of the second triangle)

(though the provided options do not display the negative scale factor, the scale factor should be negative)

ΔABC - ΔA'B'C', because ΔA'B'C' is obtained by dilating ΔABC by a scale factor of 1/3 and then rotating it about the origin by 180°
