Answer:

Every point is moved so that it is 1/2 as far from the x-axis.

Explanation:

Let's go down the list:

- Every point is moved to the opposite side of the y-axis but still the same distance from the y-axis.

This is describing a reflection across the y-axis. Reflection is one of the congruence transformations, so therefore, the figure resulting by this transformation will still be congruent to the original.

- Every point is moved 2 units right and 5 units up.

Every point is being moved the same exact distance, so therefore, the figure will remain congruent. This is similar to translation, but all the points are being translated.

- Every point is moved 1 unit to the left

This is similar to the last one, it's just translation, which is also a congruence transformation.

- Every point is moved so that it is 1/2 as far from the x-axis.

This is basically dilation. Dilation is a similarity transformation, but it changes the size of the figure. Therefore, this is the one that will result in a non-congruent figure.

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

Every point is moved so that it is 1/2 as far

Explanation:

This will change the size of the shape and it will no longer be congruent, or of equal size to the original.
