Answer:

First Row (Preimage: Figure P)

Step 1: Reflect over the \( y \)-axis

The reflection over the \( y \)-axis transforms a point \((x, y)\) to \((-x, y)\). Let's assume a vertex of Figure P has coordinates (e.g., if a vertex is \((-4, 3)\), after reflection over \( y \)-axis, it becomes \((4, 3)\)).

Step 2: Translate \((x, y) \to (x + 2, y - 3)\)

Take the reflected point \((4, 3)\) from Step 1. Apply the translation: \( x \)-coordinate: \( 4 + 2 = 6 \), \( y \)-coordinate: \( 3 - 3 = 0 \)? Wait, maybe better to track the figure. Looking at the grid, Figure P (pink) when reflected over \( y \)-axis (so left-right flip) and then translated right 2, down 3. Let's check the figures. The yellow figure (let's say Figure S?) Wait, maybe the images: after reflecting Figure P (pink) over \( y \)-axis (so symmetric over \( y \)-axis) and then translating \((x + 2, y - 3)\), the image should be the yellow figure (let's confirm coordinates). Alternatively, maybe the image is Figure S (yellow). But let's proceed.

Second Row (Preimage: Figure R, Image: Figure P)

We need to find transformations to map Figure R to Figure P. Let's reverse the first row's transformations. First, reverse the translation: translate \((x, y) \to (x - 2, y + 3)\) (inverse of \((x + 2, y - 3)\)). Then reverse the reflection: reflect over \( y \)-axis (since reflection over \( y \)-axis is its own inverse? Wait, reflection over \( y \)-axis: \((x, y) \to (-x, y)\), so inverse is same. Wait, no: if we did reflection then translation, to reverse, we do inverse translation then inverse reflection. So inverse translation of \((x + 2, y - 3)\) is \((x - 2, y + 3)\), then inverse reflection (same as reflection over \( y \)-axis, since reflection is an involution: applying it twice gives identity). So transformations: 1. Translate \((x, y) \to (x - 2, y + 3)\); 2. Reflect over the \( y \)-axis.

Third Row (Preimage: Figure Q)

Step 1: Rotate \( 180^\circ \) clockwise around the origin

A \( 180^\circ \) rotation around the origin transforms \((x, y) \to (-x, -y)\).

Step 2: Reflect over the \( x \)-axis

Reflection over \( x \)-axis transforms \((x, y) \to (x, -y)\). So applying Step 1 then Step 2: take a point \((x, y)\) from Figure Q, rotate \( 180^\circ \) to \((-x, -y)\), then reflect over \( x \)-axis to \((-x, y)\). Let's check the figures. Figure Q is green. After rotating \( 180^\circ \) (so opposite quadrant) and reflecting over \( x \)-axis, the image should be Figure P? Wait, no. Let's see: Figure Q (green) has vertices, say, \((-2, 1)\), \((0, 2)\), \((1, -1)\), \((-1, -2)\)? Wait, maybe better to track. Rotate \( 180^\circ \): \((x, y) \to (-x, -y)\), then reflect over \( x \)-axis: \((-x, -y) \to (-x, y)\). So the image should be a figure with vertices \((-x, y)\) from Figure Q's vertices. Let's assume Figure Q's vertices are, e.g., \((-2, -1)\), \((0, -2)\), \((1, 1)\), \((-1, 2)\) (wait, maybe I got the coordinates wrong). Alternatively, the image after rotating Figure Q \( 180^\circ \) and reflecting over \( x \)-axis is Figure P (pink). But let's confirm.

Filling the Table:

1. First Row (Preimage: Figure P):

• Transformations: Reflect over \( y \)-axis, then translate \((x, y) \to (x + 2, y - 3)\).
• Image: Let's say the yellow figure (Figure S? Or maybe Figure T? Wait, the figures: blue (Figure P?), pink (Figure P?), no, the preimage is Figure P (pink). After reflecting over \( y \)-axis (so right of \( y \)-axis) and translating right 2, down 3, the image is the yellow figure (let's call it Figure S).

1. Second Row (Preimage: Figure R, Image: Figure P):

• Transformations: 1. Translate \((x, y) \to (x - 2, y + 3)\) (reverse of the translation in first row); 2. Reflect over the \( y \)-axis (reverse of the reflection in first row).

1. Third Row (Preimage: Figure Q):

• Transformations: 1. Rotate \( 180^\circ \) clockwise around origin; 2. Reflect over \( x \)-axis.
• Image: Let's check the coordinates. If Figure Q has a vertex \((-2, 1)\), rotate \( 180^\circ \) to \((2, -1)\), then reflect over \( x \)-axis to \((2, 1)\). Wait, Figure P (pink) has a vertex \((-4, -3)\)? No, maybe I'm mixing up. Alternatively, the image is Figure P (pink) or another. But based on the problem, we need to identify the image.

Final Answers (Filling the Table):

• First Row Image: Let's assume the image is the yellow figure (e.g., Figure S, but maybe the problem has labels: blue (Figure A), gray (Figure B), green (Figure Q), pink (Figure P), yellow (Figure S)). After reflecting Figure P (pink) over \( y \)-axis and translating, the image is the yellow figure (Figure S).
• Second Row Transformations: 1. Translate \((x, y) \to (x - 2, y + 3)\); 2. Reflect over the \( y \)-axis.
• Third Row Image: After rotating Figure Q \( 180^\circ \) and reflecting over \( x \)-axis, the image is Figure P (pink) or another. Wait, maybe the image is Figure P.

But to be precise, let's take an example vertex of Figure P. Let's say Figure P (pink) has a vertex at \((-4, -3)\). Reflect over \( y \)-axis: \((4, -3)\). Translate \((x + 2, y - 3)\): \( 4 + 2 = 6 \), \( -3 - 3 = -6 \)? No, that doesn't match. Wait, maybe the coordinates are different. Let's look at the grid:

• The \( x \)-axis has ticks at -6, -4, -2, 0, 2, 4, 6.
• The \( y \)-axis has ticks at -4, -2, 0, 2, 4, 6.

Figure P (pink) has vertices at, say, \((-5, -3)\), \((-3, -1)\), \((-1, -3)\), \((-3, -5)\)? No, maybe better to see the colors:

• Blue: left of \( y \)-axis, top.
• Gray: right of \( y \)-axis, top.
• Green: below \( x \)-axis, left? No, green is around \( x \)-axis.
• Pink: left of \( y \)-axis, bottom.
• Yellow: right of \( y \)-axis, bottom.

So Figure P is pink (left bottom). Reflect over \( y \)-axis: becomes right bottom (yellow? No, yellow is right bottom). Wait, pink is left bottom, yellow is right bottom. So reflecting pink over \( y \)-axis gives yellow? No, reflection over \( y \)-axis would flip left-right, so pink (left bottom) reflected over \( y \)-axis is right bottom (yellow). Then translate \((x + 2, y - 3)\): yellow's vertices are at, say, \((3, -3)\), \((5, -1)\), \((7, -3)\), \((5, -5)\)? No, the grid goes to 6. Maybe the translation is \((x + 2, y - 3)\) from the reflected figure (yellow) would move it, but maybe I'm wrong.

Alternatively, the first row's image is the yellow figure (Figure S). The second row: preimage Figure R (gray, right top), image Figure P (pink, left bottom). So to map R to P: first, reverse the translation (translate \((x - 2, y + 3)\)) and reverse the reflection (reflect over \( y \)-axis). So transformations: 1. Translate \((x, y) \to (x - 2, y + 3)\); 2. Reflect over \( y \)-axis.

Third row: preimage Figure Q (green, around \( x \)-axis), transformations: rotate \( 180^\circ \) clockwise, then reflect over \( x \)-axis. The image would be Figure P (pink) or another. Let's take a vertex of Figure Q: say \((-2, 1)\). Rotate \( 180^\circ \): \((2, -1)\). Reflect over \( x \)-axis: \((2, 1)\). Which is a vertex of the gray figure (Figure R)? No, gray is top right. Wait, maybe the image is Figure P.

Final Table Filling:

Preimage	Transformation(s)	Image
Figure R	1. Translate \((x, y) \to (x - 2, y + 3)\). <br> 2. Reflect over the \( y \)-axis.	Figure P
Figure Q	1. Rotate \( 180^\circ \) clockwise around the origin. <br> 2. Reflect over the \( x \)-axis.	Figure P (or another, but likely Figure P)

But since the problem is about identifying the image or transformations, the key is to apply the transformations step by step. For the first row, after reflecting Figure P over \( y \)-axis and translating, the image is the yellow figure (assuming labels). For the second row, to get from Figure R to Figure P, we reverse the first row's transformations. For the third row, after rotating Figure Q \( 180^\circ \) and reflecting over \( x \)-axis, the image is Figure P.
