Question

step 1: reflect across the y - axis
step 2:
step 3: reflect across the x - axis
which transformation is needed in step 2 to map figure v onto figure v?
a. vertical translation up 1 unit
b. vertical translation down 1 unit
c. horizontal translation left 1 unit

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Step 1 effect

Reflection across y - axis changes sign of x - coordinates.

Step2: Analyze Step 3 effect

Reflection across x - axis changes sign of y - coordinates.
To map figure V onto figure V' after Step 1 (y - axis reflection) and before Step 3 (x - axis reflection), we need to vertically translate the figure. By observing the relative position of the figures after y - axis reflection and before x - axis reflection, we can see that a vertical translation down 1 unit is required.

Answer:

B. vertical translation down 1 unit
