question
determine a series of transformations that would map figure q onto figure r.
answer attempt 1 out of 2
a reflection over the y - axis followed by a translation unit(s).

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze reflection

The two figures are mirror - images with respect to the y - axis. A reflection over the y - axis changes the sign of the x - coordinates of all the points of Figure Q to get an intermediate figure.

Step2: Analyze translation

After reflection over the y - axis, no vertical shift is needed. The x - coordinates after reflection need to be shifted further to the left to map onto Figure R. By observing the position of the figures, we can see that we need to translate 2 units to the left.

Answer:

A reflection over the y - axis followed by a translation left 2 unit(s).
