Explanation:

Question 19

To determine the transformations mapping trapezoid \(ABCD\) to \(A'B'C'D'\), analyze each option:

• Option A: Reflecting over the \(x\)-axis would invert the \(y\)-coordinates, and a \(180^\circ\) rotation about the origin would multiply both \(x\) and \(y\) by \(-1\). But visually, the trapezoid's orientation suggests a reflection over the \(y\)-axis first, not \(x\)-axis. Eliminate A.
• Option B: A \(90^\circ\) rotation about the origin would change the shape's orientation (e.g., a horizontal side would become vertical), but \(A'B'C'D'\) has the same orientation as \(ABCD\) (horizontal sides). A \(90^\circ\) rotation is incorrect. Eliminate B.
• Option C: Reflecting over the \(y\)-axis swaps \(x\)-coordinates' signs (e.g., \(A(-10, -4)\) becomes \((10, -4)\) after \(y\)-axis reflection). A \(180^\circ\) rotation about the origin multiplies \(x\) and \(y\) by \(-1\), transforming \((10, -4)\) to \((-10, 4)\)? Wait, no—wait, the image \(A'\) is at \((10, -4)\)? Wait, looking at the graph: \(A\) is at \((-10, -4)\), \(A'\) at \((10, -4)\). Wait, maybe my initial analysis was wrong. Wait, let's check coordinates:
• \(A(-10, -4)\), \(A'(10, -4)\): reflection over \(y\)-axis (since \(x\) flips sign, \(y\) same). Then, a \(180^\circ\) rotation about the origin: a \(180^\circ\) rotation of a point \((x, y)\) is \((-x, -y)\). Wait, no—if we first reflect over \(y\)-axis: \((-10, -4) \to (10, -4)\). Then a \(180^\circ\) rotation: \((10, -4) \to (-10, 4)\), which is not \(A'\). Wait, maybe I misread the graph. Wait, the image \(A'\) is at \((10, -4)\), same \(y\)-coordinate as \(A\), \(x\) flipped. Wait, maybe the correct transformation is reflection over \(y\)-axis and then... Wait, no—wait, the trapezoid \(ABCD\) and \(A'B'C'D'\) are symmetric over the \(y\)-axis? Wait, \(A(-10, -4)\), \(A'(10, -4)\); \(D(-2, -4)\), \(D'(2, -4)\); \(B(-8, -8)\), \(B'(8, -8)\); \(C(-2, -8)\), \(C'(2, -8)\). Oh! Wait, actually, reflecting over the \(y\)-axis maps \(A(-10, -4)\) to \(A'(10, -4)\), \(D(-2, -4)\) to \(D'(2, -4)\), etc. Then, a \(180^\circ\) rotation about the origin would take \((10, -4)\) to \((-10, 4)\), but \(A'\) is at \((10, -4)\). Wait, no—maybe the trapezoid \(ABCD\) and \(A'B'C'D'\) are related by reflection over \(y\)-axis and then... Wait, no, the \(y\)-coordinates of \(B\) and \(B'\) are both \(-8\), \(C\) and \(C'\) both \(-8\). Wait, maybe the initial reflection is over \(y\)-axis, and then a \(180^\circ\) rotation? Wait, no—wait, a \(180^\circ\) rotation of \(A(-10, -4)\) is \((10, 4)\), but \(A'\) is \((10, -4)\). Wait, I think I made a mistake. Let's re-express:

Wait, the trapezoid \(ABCD\) and \(A'B'C'D'\) are mirror images over the \(y\)-axis (since \(x\) coordinates are opposites, \(y\) same). Then, a \(180^\circ\) rotation about the origin would flip both \(x\) and \(y\), but in the image, \(y\) coordinates are the same. Wait, maybe the correct option is C? Wait, no—wait, let's check the orientation. The trapezoid \(ABCD\) has vertices \(A(-10, -4)\), \(B(-8, -8)\), \(C(-2, -8)\), \(D(-2, -4)\). \(A'B'C'D'\) has \(A'(10, -4)\), \(B'(8, -8)\), \(C'(2, -8)\), \(D'(2, -4)\). So reflecting over \(y\)-axis ( \(x \to -x\)) gives \(A(10, -4)\), \(B(8, -8)\), \(C(2, -8)\), \(D(2, -4)\), which is exactly \(A'B'C'D'\). Wait, but the option C says "reflection over \(y\) axis and then a rotation of \(180^\circ\) about the origin". Wait, no—if we only reflect over \(y\)-axis, we get \(A'B'C'D'\). But the option C includes a \(180^\circ\) rotation. Wait, maybe I misread the option. Wait, option C: reflection over \(y\) axis…

A linear function has the form \(y = mx + b\) (degree 1, no exponents on \(x\) other than 1).

• Option A: \(y = \frac{1}{2}x - 3\) is in \(y = mx + b\) form (degree 1). This is linear.
• Option B: \(y = x^2 + 5\) has \(x^2\) (degree 2), quadratic (non - linear).
• Option C: \(y = x^2 + 2x\) has \(x^2\) (degree 2), quadratic (non - linear).
• Option D: \(y = \frac{1}{5}x^3\) has \(x^3\) (degree 3), cubic (non - linear).

Answer:

C. reflection over the y axis and then a rotation of 180° about the origin
