Answer:

The sequence is as following:

1. Reflection 180°

2. Reflection over the line x=5

3. Translation 2 units down.

Explanation:

The question is as following:

Describe the sequence of transformations from Quadrilateral WXYZ to W”X”Y”Z”.

The picture is a coordinate plane with

W= (-8,8)

X= (-2,8)

Y= (-2,4)

Z= (-8,4)

W”= (2,-10)

X”= (8,-10)

Y”= (8,-6)

Z”= (2,-6)

=================================

See the attached figure

The sequence is:

Reflection 180° ⇒ Reflection over the line x=5 ⇒ translation 2 units down.

Rule of reflection 180° is (x, y) → (–x, –y)

Rule of reflection over the line x=5 is (x, y) → (–x+10 , y)

Rule of translation 2 units down is (x, y) → (x , y–2)

The way of thinking:

1. The rectangle at the second quadrant, we need make it at the fourth quadrant, so, the suitable is Reflection 180°

2. After reflection 180°, it is noticed that we need reverse the vertices so we need to make a reflection over its vertical axis which is at x = 5

3. We need to translate it 2 units down to overlap with the required coordinates.

Check the points:

W(-8,8) ⇒ (8,-8) ⇒ (2,-8) ⇒ (2,-10)⇒W"

X(-2,8) ⇒ (2,-8) ⇒ (8,-8) ⇒ (8,-10)⇒X"

Y(-2,4) ⇒ (2,-4) ⇒ (8,-4) ⇒ (8,-6)⇒Y"

Z(-8,4) ⇒ (8,-4) ⇒ (2,-4) ⇒ (2,-6)⇒Z"
