Describe the series of transformations that have occurred to move the triangle in Quadrant IV to the triangle in Quadrant Il to show that the triangles are congruent. (1 point)

1 answer

To move the triangle in Quadrant IV to the triangle in Quadrant II, several transformations have occurred.

First, a reflection about the y-axis has taken place. This means that each point in the triangle's original position has been reflected to the opposite side of the y-axis while maintaining the same distance from the y-axis.

Next, a reflection about the x-axis has occurred. This involves flipping the triangle over the x-axis so that each point's y-coordinate changes to its opposite.

Finally, a rotation of 180 degrees counterclockwise has taken place. This rotation flips the triangle over its center point, so that each point's (x, y) coordinates change to (-x, -y).

By applying these three transformations in the given order, we can conclude that the triangle in Quadrant IV is congruent to the triangle in Quadrant II.
