Question

describing single rigid transformations in the coordinate plane

for problems 1 - 4, write the single transformation that maps each lettered figure onto its prime - lettered image.

5 figure abcde is transformed in the coordinate plane to form the image abcde. label the vertices of abcde and tell what single transformation was used.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze figure 1

Observe the position of A and A'. The figure A is flipped over a vertical - like line to get A'. This is a reflection.

Step2: Analyze figure 2

For D and D', the figure D is flipped over a horizontal - like line to get D'. This is a reflection.

Step3: Analyze figure 3

C and C' are symmetric about a vertical line. This is a reflection.

Step4: Analyze figure 4

B and B' are symmetric about a horizontal line. This is a reflection.

Answer:

1. Reflection
2. Reflection
3. Reflection
4. Reflection
