Question

which of the following describes the transformation from the preimage to the image? a reflection over the y - axis a reflection over the x - axis a translation left 4 units a translation right 10 units

Explanation:

To determine the transformation, we analyze the coordinates (or positions) of the preimage (AB) and the image (A'B'). A reflection over the x - axis changes the sign of the y - coordinate of each point. Looking at the graph, the vertical positions of the points seem to be mirrored over the x - axis (the y - coordinates of corresponding points have opposite signs), while a reflection over the y - axis would change the sign of the x - coordinate. Translations involve moving the figure without changing its orientation or flipping it, which is not the case here. So the transformation is a reflection over the x - axis.

Answer:

A reflection over the x - axis
