Question

A figure in Quadrant II was transformed, and the image is in Quadrant III. Which could not have been the transformation? A. A reflection over the x-axis B. A rotation 90° clockwise C. A translation down D. A rotation 270° clockwise

Answer 1

Answer: B) rotation 90 degree clockwise.

If a figure is in quadrant 2, and we rotate 90 degrees clockwise around the origin, then the figure will end up in quadrant 1 instead of quadrant 3. The four quadrants are numbered so that you start in the upper right corner, and move counterclockwise.
