Rectangle A’B’C’D’ is similar to rectangle ABCD, as shown on the coordinate plane
below.
Which sequence of transformations maps rectangle
ABCD onto rectangle A’B’C’D’?
A. A translation 8 unit to the left, then a dilation by
a scale factor of 1/2
with a center of dilation at the origin
B. A reflection over the y-axis, then a dilation by a
scale factor of 1/2
with a center of dilation at the origin.
C. A dilation by a scale factor of 1/2
with a center of
dilation at the origin, then a 90° counterclockwise
rotation about the origin
D. A 90° counterclockwise rotation about the origin,
then a dilation by a scale factor of 1/2
with a center of
dilation at the origin.
