Figure ABCD is transformed to obtain figure A'B'C'D':

A coordinate grid is shown from negative 6 to 6 on both axes at increments of 1. Figure ABCD has A at ordered pair negative 4, 4, B at negative 2, 2, C at negative 2, negative 1, D at negative 4, 1. Figure A prime B prime C prime D prime has A prime at ordered pair 4, 1, B prime at 2, negative 1, C prime at 2, negative 4, D prime at 4, negative 2.

Part A: Write the sequence of transformations that changes figure ABCD to figure A'B'C'D'. Explain your answer and write the coordinates of the figure obtained after each transformation.

Part B: Are the two figures congruent? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Reflected along x axis

Translated 7 units to the right

Explanation:

If a point (x, y) is reflected along the x axis, its x coordinate remains the same and the y coordinate is opposite (negated). The new point is at (x, -y)

If a point (x, y) is translated h units to the right, the new coordinate is (x+h, y).The transformation are as follows:

It is reflected along the x axis so that the new coordinates would be at A1 at (- 4, -4), B1 at (- 2, -2), C1 at (- 2, 1), D1 at (- 4, -1)

It is translated 7 units to the right, The new coordinates are A' at (3, -4), B' at (5, -2), C' at (5, 1), D' at (3, -1)
