To identify the sequence of transformations that will map triangle ΔABC to triangle ΔA"B"C", we need to analyze the transformations.

  1. The transformation involves altering the x-coordinates and then flipping the y-coordinates.

  2. The first transformation suggests moving the triangle horizontally. The triangle appears to be moved 4 units to the right (if the x-coordinates of the points on triangle A"B"C" are 4 units higher than those on triangle ABC).

  3. The second transformation flips the triangle across the x-axis, which affects the y-coordinates (i.e., it takes the y-coordinates and negates them).

Thus, the combination of these two transformations can be written as:

  1. Translate right 4 units: \( f(x, y) = (x + 4, y) \)
  2. Reflect over the x-axis: \( g(x, y) = (x, -y) \)

Putting it together, we have:

  1. First transform: \( (x, y) → (x + 4, y) \)
  2. Second transform: \( (x + 4, y) → (x + 4, -y) \)

So the overall transformation from \( ΔABC \) to \( ΔA"B"C" \) is:

\[ (x, y) → (x + 4, -y) \]

Thus, the correct answer is:

(x,y)→(x+4,−y)
