Question

figure nop is the result of a transformation on figure kjm. which transformation would accomplish this?
answer
a translation 3 units down
a reflection over the y - axis
a reflection over the x - axis
a translation 3 units up

Explanation:

First, identify key points of both figures. For Figure KLM: K is at (0,1), L is at (2,1), M is at (4,3). For Figure NOP: N is at (-2,1), O is at (-4,1), P is at (-6,3). Reflecting a point $(x,y)$ over the y-axis transforms it to $(-x,y)$. Applying this to K, L, M:

• K(0,1) → (0,1) which matches N
• L(2,1) → (-2,1) which matches O
• M(4,3) → (-4,3) which matches P

This confirms the transformation is a reflection over the y-axis.

Answer:

A reflection over the y-axis
