Question

here are the coordinates of the pre - image and image of triangle cat. which transformation moves the pre - image onto the image? reflection over the x - axis reflection over the y - axis translation 4 units down none of the above explain your thinking.

Explanation:

For a reflection over the x - axis, the rule for a point (x, y) is transformed to (x, -y). For a reflection over the y - axis, the rule for a point (x, y) is transformed to (-x, y). For a translation 4 units down, the rule for a point (x, y) is transformed to (x, y - 4). Without seeing the coordinates, we assume based on the nature of the options. If the x - coordinates remain the same and the y - coordinates change sign, it is a reflection over the x - axis.

Answer:

If the x - coordinates of the pre - image and image points of triangle CAT are the same and the y - coordinates change sign, the answer is Reflection over the x - axis. If the y - coordinates remain the same and the x - coordinates change sign, the answer is Reflection over the y - axis. If the x - coordinates remain the same and the y - coordinates of the image are 4 less than those of the pre - image, the answer is Translation 4 units down. If none of these patterns match, the answer is None of the above.
