Question

#5. describe a sequence of transformations that takes figure q to figure p.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify horizontal translation

The x - coordinate of key - points of Figure Q need to change from negative values to positive values. The left - most point of Figure Q is at x=-3 and the left - most point of Figure P is at x = 2. So, we need to translate Figure Q 5 units to the right.

Step2: Identify reflection

After translating 5 units to the right, the orientation of the figure is still not the same as Figure P. We need to reflect the translated figure over the x - axis. When we reflect a figure over the x - axis, the y - coordinates of all points change their signs.

Answer:

Translate Figure Q 5 units to the right and then reflect the resulting figure over the x - axis.
