Question

\Which transformation is the result of reflecting the original figure across the y-axis and then across the x-axis?

A) A
B) B
C) C

Answer 1

The transformation resulting from reflecting a figure across the y-axis and then across the x-axis is a 180-degree rotation.

Step-by-step explanation:

When reflecting a figure across the y-axis, all points of the figure that were on the right side of the y-axis will now be on the left side, and vice versa. When reflecting a figure across the x-axis, all points of the figure that were above the x-axis will now be below the x-axis, and vice versa.

Therefore, reflecting a figure across the y-axis and then across the x-axis results in a transformation called a 180-degree rotation.
