Use the image to answer the question.

A coordinate plane's x-axis ranges from negative 8 to 0 and its y-axis ranges from negative 6 to 10, both by 1-unit increments. Points upper L, upper O, upper W, upper L prime, upper O prime, and upper W prime are plotted forming two triangles.

To determine which two moves could replace the one translation in the transformation from triangle ΔLOW to triangle ΔL"O"W", we need to consider how the position of triangle ΔLOW can be altered through a combination of geometric transformations.

Since the transformation appears to be a translation (moving each point of the first triangle to the corresponding point of the second triangle without altering its shape or orientation), we can explore two transformations that can achieve the same effect.

  1. A reflection across intersecting lines: This transformation can effectively flip the triangle over those lines, resulting in a new position while maintaining the original shape and size.
  2. A rotation around a point: While a counterclockwise rotation of 180 degrees can also be a viable transformation, it typically does not require an intersection of lines, which might cause some confusion.

After considering these, the option that directly suggests two transformations is:

A reflection across intersecting lines.

This could involve reflecting the triangle twice over two different lines that intersect, leading to a new position. Therefore, the answer is:

A reflection across intersecting lines.
