Answer:

  • translation left 2 units
  • reflection over the x-axis

Explanation:

You want a pair of transformations that will map ∆ABC to ∆A'B'C'.

Observation

We note that segment BC points downward, and segment B'C' points upward. This suggests a vertical reflection.

We also note that point A' is 2 units left of point A, suggesting a horizontal translation. It is as far below the x-axis as A is above the x-axis.

Transformations

The two transformations that map ∆ABC to ∆A'B'C' are ...

  • reflection across the x-axis
  • translation left 2 units

These transformations are independent of each other, so may be applied in either order.
