Question

which of the following series of transformations could govern the transformation between the preimage abcd and the image abcd? select the correct answer a reflection over the x - axis and translation to the right. a reflection over the y - axis and a translation down. a rotation 90° clockwise followed by a translation down. a rotation 270° clockwise followed by a translation to the right.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze orientation change

The pre - image ABCD and image A'B'C'D' have their orientation changed. If we consider a rotation, a 90 - degree clockwise rotation of a point (x,y) gives (y, - x). Also, we can observe the overall change in position.

Step2: Analyze position change

After possible rotation, we see that the figure has also moved downwards.

Answer:

A rotation 90° clockwise followed by a translation down.
