Question

Which transformation changes triangle ABC to triangle A’B’C’?

Answer 1

Answer: rotation 180 degrees counterclockwise about the origin

Step-by-step explanation: the formula for rotating 180 degrees is (x , y) = (-x , -y). thus, an example of point A is (2 , -4), and it results in being (-2, 4), and so forth for the following points.

Answer 2

Reflection about the y axis, and then about the x- axis

Explanation:

When reflecting an object about the y- axis, the x-coordinates are multiplied with -1.

When reflecting an object about the x-axis, the y-coordinates are multiplied with -.

When reflecting about both axes, both coordinates are multiplied by -1.

Now looking at the coordinates of the two triangles:

A(2, -4) → A'(-2, 4)

B(5, -5) → B'(-5, 1)

C(4, -5) → C'(-4, 5)

All of the coordinates are multiplied by -1.
