Answer:
(A)a translation 5 units down and 2 units to the right followed by a reflection across the y-axis
Explanation:
If a point is reflected across the y-axis, the y-coordinate remains the same, but the x-coordinate is transformed into its opposite.
Triangle LMN has points (2, 1), (1, 1), (1, 3).
Triangle L'M'N' has points (-4,-4), (-3,-4), (-3,-2).
From the given options:
Option A: A translation 5 units down and 2 units to the right followed by a reflection across the y-axis
Given the points: (2, 1), (1, 1), (1, 3) of Triangle LMN
- A translation 5 units down(x,y-5): (2,-4), (1,-4), (1,-2)
- 2 units to the right(x+2, y-5): (4, -4), (3, -4), (3, -2)
- Reflection across the y-axis: (-4,-4), (-3,-4), (-3,-2)
Therefore, the sequence of transformation in Option A produces Triangle L'M'N'.
